National Punctuation Day -- unanticipated here?

[Joel S. Berson]

Apparently genealogists have some interest.  From today's electronic
newsletter of the NEHGS (much abridged):

Today is the fifth annual National Punctuation Day. Founded in 2004
by former newspaperman Jeff Rubin, the holiday is celebrated in
schools and businesses around the country. Billed as a holiday that
reminds America that "a semicolon is not a surgical procedure," the
day is intended to educate everyone from children to adults on the
importance of punctuation.
