I would like to share the basics of punctuation while drafting in English. I learned these when I was learning English Typing 10 years ago.
Text_, [wrong]. Text, [correct].
Do not use any space before a comma (,), colon (:), semicolon (;), exclamation (!), full stop (.), and question mark (?).
Text, Text [wrong]. Text, Text [correct].
Always use one space after a comma (,), colon (:), semicolon (;).
Text. Text [wrong], Text. Text [correct]. Text. Text [correct].
A full stop (.), question mark (?), and exclamation (!) should always be followed by two character spaces.
Text_/ Text [wrong], Text/ Text [correct].
An oblique is neither preceded nor followed by any character space.
