Abstract

The ability to write well without the help of digital technology is paramount as it avoids dependence on the use of external writing assistance tools and accelerates organic writing skill mastery that involves employing the components of writing in our composition precisely. Punctuation is one of the most important mechanics in English writing. Punctuation represents standard marks and signs in writing, which divide words into sentences, clauses, and phrases to clarify their meaning (Adhikary, 2020). Writing with correct punctuation helps readers process information at best hence enhancing comprehension (Suliman et al., 2019), while punctuation errors can lead to misinformation and misunderstanding. Writing with accurate punctuation resembles higher grammar competence, which showcases precise expression, rhythm, highlights, and pauses within a text (Gulsara, 2020). On the other hand, misused punctuation, such as mistaking a question mark (?) instead of a full-stop (.) at the end of a sentence, changes a supposed question form into a statement (Oktaviani et al., 2022), which fatally messes up the intended meaning; an instance that it may lead to misperception and result in personal and communal conflicts.
