As further proof of the charming punctuation snobbery of New York City — and a sequel to my previous post about the semicolon — check out this old essay by comedian and author Steve Martin in The New Yorker. The title is clever: "Times New Roman Announces Shortage of Periods." He laments the demise of the period and offers ways around its usage with question marks, colons, ellipses and various other period-avoiding tactics.What it all boils down to is this: you are not confined to any set system of punctuation.
