Woohoo!! Nationwide Punctuation Day is coming!
what to do!
I stand corrected.
Bakers, opposite to well-liked perception, these curved thingies are not sideways “completely happy hugs” on your textual content; they’re parentheses. However I am going to make this straightforward for you: YOU WILL NEVER NEED PARENTHESES ON YOUR CAKES. So do not use them. Ever.
No, not even for a reputation in all caps.
And never for anniversaries, both.
Gosh. I wager “Mother” is admittedly feeling like a part of the household proper now.
