Faulty punctuation implies a careless writer—one who fails to anticipate the needs of the reader. In this category we briefly review those rules of punctuation that are most often violated in technical writing. For more thorough explanations of punctuation, consult a standard grammar such as Harbrace,[1] or a style manual for your discipline, such as that published by the American Chemical Society.[2] The marks of punctuation are tools in the writer's toolbox, and competent craftsmen know how to use all their tools.
