Punctuation guides

Can anyone find a clearer guide than this?

http://www.doteurovision.com/toolbox/commas.php

It might appear that I go on a bit about punctuation. But support can only work well if we can understand what people are asking.

As such clear English is very important. In my opinion if you are going to able to run a successful forum, then you should be able to master some basic grammar.

If you are too dyslexic or whatever to punctuate, then you stand no chance with template editing which will in many cases fail if you have a single character misplaced.

I think i have rather good punctuation and grammer. I only got a B in GCSE English, but it was my best subject. Im always correcting people too, so i hope its as good and correct as i think it is

this one is the classic:

this letter:

Quote:

Dear Mother,

In law, there is nothing to make me say thank you, but the quality of your gifts compels me at least to write to tell you how I feel. Thank you so much for the presents! I was expecting nothing more than a token yet, again, you have exceeded even your own incredible standards.

It was a shame you had to stay here for such a short time. I thought I might have coped, but it was unbearable seeing you leave. The relief was immense when I heard we might see you again soon. I wanted to end it all by saying goodbye now. I hope I will not have to say it to you again for a long time. If you have the opportunity to spend Christmas elsewhere next year, please do not.

Much love

Matthew

Primary School English and putting effort into what you post covers it imo.
