Letters to punctuation
Emdashes recently asked readers to contribute letters to their favorite punctuation marks; I think this one takes the cake:
TO: The Period
FROM: Western Union
Regret that telegrams never used a period STOP Official standards required replacing period with word stop STOP This was true for entire history of the telegram despite efforts to stop stop STOP Powers that be made sure that efforts to stop stop stopped STOP Happy to report that in 2006 use of telegram came to a stop stopping use of stop STOP Repeat there will be no more telegrams period STOP
Western Union
Seems meta in a way that I can completely get behind. No one has addressed the exclamation point yet which I may have to rectify!
