Celebrate National Punctuation Day

I am a firm believer in the proper use of punctuation, so imagine my glee upon reading The Washington Post’s (note the use of a possessive apostrophe) Metro section this morning that today is National Punctuation Day, founded by Jeff Rubin in 2004. Learn more about National Punctuation Day HERE. To celebrate, the founder is hosting a National Punctuation Day baking contest. Submit your baked good in the shape of a punctuation mark before September 30th for a chance to win. As I’ve done all kinds of punctuation cookies–question marks, semi colons, and more–this would be right up my alley if I actually had a kitchen yet. Find details on the site HERE.

P.S. The question mark cookie above is from my web site, proof of my punctuation cookie history.
