I can remember being in middle school sitting around the dinner table while my high school aged sister and her future husband debated a question raised by my father: what are the eleven punctuation marks? The debate has continued for many many years, and occasionally one of us will get a phone call from our father with that same question: What are the eleven punctuation marks?
Test yourself. What are they? Post responses in the comments section...that's where my answer is going.
PS No cheating and looking at the keyboard; figure it out first!
