Anyone who would like to jump in and help correct punctuation or spelling... or anything else, is more than welcome. :)

Example of correctness in business communication?

— The correctness principle comprises more than proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling. A message may be perfect grammatically and mechanically but still insults or loses a customer and fails to achieve its purpose. — The term correctness, as applied to business messages also mean three characteristics: 1.

Why can't you ask a question here with punctuation?

Unfortunately, though we love punctuation here, our software doesn't. The more punctuation we allow in questions, the more glitches we get. So, we limit the amount of punctuation that can go into a question for that reason, and also because the more punctuation we allow, the more different versions of questions we could get with only punctuation differences. It's a hard balance to make. We're still working on being able to allow people to use more punctuation, but it is a long process, and often falls behind bigger priorities for the site.
