 ====== Grammar ======
 ===== Punctuation =====
-All sentences end with some punctuation mark (. , ? ! ‽ etc.). Punctuation marks used inside of parentheses or quotation marks do not terminate a sentence (ie. ''He said "Hello.".'' is correct, despite the awkward looking period). This is for clarity and maintaining consistency.

+If the punctuation mark at the end of the parenthesis is a period, it may be dropped for reconcilability: ''He said "Hello".''\\
+If the punctuation marks at the end of the parenthesis is anything but a period, it must be included: ''He said "Hello?".''\\
+The final punctuation mark **after** the parenthesis is used under all circumstances to clarify the end of that sentence.
 ===== Comma =====
 Standard comma rules, Serial comma (Oxford comma) discouraged (considered Non-Standard) but sometimes accepted as useful, particularly in very long lists.
+===== Abbreviations =====

+Exceptions in capitalization in some more advanced abbreviations where only specific letters are capitalized. Very casual abbreviations ("gg") are typically not capitalized, but can be capitalized at any time.
