Problems with your colon?

Then you should probably have attended National Punctuation Day celebrations, back on September 24th.

National Punctuation Day, the holiday that reminds America that a “semicolon is not a surgical procedure,” celebrates its fourth anniversary September 24. But what started as a clever idea to remind corporations and professional people of the importance of proper punctuation has turned into an everyday mission to help school children learn the punctuation skills they need to be successful in life.

You might, I note parenthetically, mark your calendars for next year.
