We are absolutely allowed to use punctuation... and even encouraged to do so, in answers. In questions, there are only limited punctuation marks that are allowed... not because we don't adore grammar (because we SO absolutely love grammar, really), but because certain marks are hard on the database and mix up the code. ... Someday, when we have better, grammar-adoring Artificial Intelligences helping us keep the database straight, we expect to correct the punctuation problem. We're just not sure exactly when that will happen... but believe me, we look forward to being ruled by our benevolent and literary machine masters. :)
