Lack of Punctuation Totally Changes News Story’s Meaning

If you think punctuation isn't important see how the lack of punctuation can completely change the meaning of a sentence.

As written and read, news anchor Johnathan Charles has been kept hidden for almost two decades although he doesn't elaborate on where.

While I'm on the subject, there has been a lot said about the recent movie release 'You're Next' and people calling it 'Your Next'.  They sound the same, but the two words have completely different meanings.

And then there's the professor at Newcastle University in England who says we should stop teaching spelling and grammar.

Just my opinion, but it looks like we should be putting more, not less, emphasis on spelling, grammar and punctuation.
