Punctuation \Punc`tu*a"tion\, n. [Cf. F. ponctuation.] (Gram.)
The act or art of punctuating or pointing a writing or
discourse; the art or mode of dividing literary composition
into sentences, and members of a sentence, by means of
points, so as to elucidate the author's meaning.
[1913 Webster]

Note: Punctuation, as the term is usually understood, is
chiefly performed with four points: the period [.], the
colon [:], the semicolon [;], and the comma [,]. Other
points used in writing and printing, partly rhetorical
and partly grammatical, are the note of interrogation
[?], the note of exclamation [!], the parentheses [()],
the dash [--], and brackets []. It was not until the
16th century that an approach was made to the present
system of punctuation by the Manutii of Venice. With
Caxton, oblique strokes took the place of commas and
periods.
[1913 Webster]

2. By the word point is here understood all the points in grammar, as
the comma, the semicolon, the colon, and the like.
3. All such instruments are to be construed without any regard to the
punctuation; and in a case of doubt, they ought to be construed in such a
manner that they may have some effect, rather than in one in which they
would be nugatory. Vide Toull. liv. 3, t. 2, c. 5, n. 430; 4 T. R. 65;
Barringt. on the Stat. 394, n. Vide article Points.
