Yup, these days there seems to be a holiday for just about anything. There’s International Bacon Day, International Talk Like a Pirate Day and Towel Day (my personal favorite).
National Punctuation Day on September 24th, however, takes the cake and underlines the importance of correct punctuation and grammar. Punctuation something that people take very seriously (and I’m not just talking about your 8th grade English teacher). It’s a great thing, not to be underestimated, overused or misused; it certainly comes in handy making a text understandable.
What do punctuation and t-shirts have to do with each other, you ask? We asked ourselves the same question and took a look at how our customers use punctuation. We were curious what the most often used punctuation mark was on a shirt and a couple of Spreaders placed bets on the exclamation point! We were wrong! People aren’t yelling much with shirts, they’re rather making points – with periods.
Here are the top five most commonly used punctuation marks on Spreadshirt products: period, apostrophe, exclamation mark, dash and comma. Unfortunately, the interrobang (my favorite punctuation mark) didn’t make the cut – but that doesn’t mean you can’t get one on a shirt. Here are some punctuation shirts I’ve found:
Happy National Punctuation Day!!
