Quarter 2, Week 6 – Rules in Capitalization and Use of Punctuation Marks

My Journal:

Our lecture in week 6 is all about Rules in Capitalization and Use of Punctuation Marks. Capitalization occurs when the first letter in a word is an upper case letter. Capitalization is the writing of a word with its first letter in uppercase and the remaining letters in lowercase. Skilled writers are stingy with capital. There are 14 punctuation marks. A punctuation mark is a mark or character used to punctuate, that is, to separate, elements of writing, such as sentences or phrases. In writing, we use punctuation marks like the commas and period in this sentence, to make things more manageable for a reader to understand.

We've given a quiz and made a journal about the topic. I discovered that marks of punctuation and capitalization benefit readers' understanding and interpreting sentences sufficiently. Some marks are required to prevent misreading and some are optional and depend on what the writer wishes to accomplish. For example, ending a sentence with an exclamation mark instead of a period. I didn't find the topic problematic, it's just kinda confusing. The highlight of the topic is that knowing and understanding the rules in capitalization will benefit each of us, students, to use it rightly.

They both shine when it's their time.
