Well that shouldn't have been to difficult to read, right? At this point I think all of us have a sense of where and when to punctuate our sentences with pauses, breaks, questions and excitement.
Punctuation is something that has been taught as vital to our english education. We need to what this means! Or what this means? I'm pretty sure you noticed the difference in tone and stressed words.
Punctuation is the solid foundation of any canvas that is to be painted on. Changing punctuation or getting rid of it altogether may provide more availability to creativity, but an inevitable cry for chaos.
The only reason we feel like we could do without punctuation is because we know that we will always have it with us. Would you be willing to give up something if you could never ever see it again? Don't say yes to contradict me be nice and go with the flow.
In future years when children are learning grammar and punctuation, yes there maybe hundreds of changes and or elimination altogether. But how will they learn? They could use anything they wanted in the name of punctuation and the teacher, who grew up with the education we did, would have to take deep breathing lessons just to understand and decode this new language.
Punctuation is an art of its own, it has rules, restrictions and worldwide relevance.
