Thoughts on punctuation chapter

It was kind of nice to have the rules of commas, hyphens, colons, and semicolons nicely spelled out. The chapter gave a pretty good overview of correct usage and exceptions to the rules. What I really liked though, was that the book pointed out that there is lee-way with these rules. You can use these types of punctuation so many different ways that correct usage is not going to cause you to turn out the exact same time of sentences all the time. And some of the punctuation rules can be broken--especially in creative writing--so that you really can be creative and grammatically correct.
