Punctuation
A badly punctuated text can be almost unreadable. Some people scatter marks of punctuation through their writing, paying no real attention to whether or not each item is necessary or appropriate. If punctuation is not used accurately and consistently the reader becomes confused and any attempt to make sense of the text can become arduous.
The other side of this coin is too little punctuation. This often has the effect of leaving the reader disoriented and unsure where one clause ends and the next begins. For example:
"For every day and night you stay at a Premier Inns Plaza House hotel in the UK at the fully published or corporate rate and paid for with a debit or credit card you are entitled to a special discount voucher."
Using the wrong type of punctuation mark is another problem. Often, a comma is used to string together statements which are actually grammatically separate and should really be sentences in their own right. Consider:
"The man's reaction was pure anger that a man's career should be threatened, it was just her word against his, they chose to believe his."
