Chapter 445: Punctuation

Okay, okay, I have both my father and mother to rely on, and my brother to rely on, what are I doing so hard? ”

  Lin Xianyu saw that his father and mother were going to dump each other because of their names, and hurriedly spoke.

  "That's right, isn't your brother studying hard except for the glorious lintel, just to be your backer? I worked hard to make so much money, isn't it just to squander it for my mother and daughter! ”

  Master Lin nodded yes, feeling that his daughter's consciousness was still very good.

  And Mrs. Lin has no eyes to watch the conversation between her husband and her daughter.

  Fortunately, although her daughter is lazy, she is still obedient, and as long as she makes a request, she will always try to do it well.

  Then the responsibility of urging your daughter to be motivated is left to yourself.

  "Didn't you just talk about "Shooting the Condor", bring the manuscript and proofread it for me and your father, you just have a rest."

  Mrs. Lin hurriedly pulled the topic back, of course, the proofreading manuscript was just an excuse, and the most important thing was that she wanted to watch "Shooting the Condor" again.

  "Longevity, go get my manuscript." Lin Xianyu hurriedly instructed Changshou to pick up the manuscript.

  Soon Changshou took the manuscript, and Master Lin looked at the manuscript, but a very strange look appeared on his face.

  "Envy fish, what are these little symbols for?" Master Lin pointed to the punctuation marks on the manuscript.

  Lin Xianyu read the manuscript and realized that he habitually used punctuation.

  I have never used this punctuation mark before composing poems and lyrics for pairs.

  Even if it is a mock volume copied to my brother, because the volume issued by the system has no punctuation, it is arranged according to the ancient format, and I subconsciously copied it, so there is no punctuation.

  Nowadays, when writing such a long one, punctuation marks are naturally indispensable, but I forgot that these punctuation marks were not used in ancient times.

  "That's right, my book is very long, and if a sentence and a sentence look hard to write together, I got some punctuation."

  "This is a comma, use this if you need a pause in the middle of a sentence, this is a full stop, write this at the end of a sentence, this is a question mark, indicating the question ......"

  Lin Xianyu explained simply, there were only a few commonly used punctuation marks, and Master Lin and Mrs. Lin quickly understood.

  "It does seem to be much less labor-intensive, and it's less likely to cause ambiguity." Mrs. Lin nodded.

  "Lady, Envy Fish, don't you realize that this punctuation mark is very important?" Master Lin was obviously more sensitive.

  Mrs. Lin only felt that it was indeed convenient, and Lin Xianyu was used to it, only Master Lin realized that this invention might not be inferior to movable type printing.

  "I'll proofread this "Shooting the Condor" as soon as possible, Xianyu, you can write another piece of the use of this punctuation mark, and we will print it together with the book."

  "This is your invention, and no one can take it away."

  Master Lin opened his mouth and said that if movable type printing had no choice but to let Lin Yunfeng sign it, then the name of inventing this punctuation mark would fall under his daughter's name no matter what.

  Now that her daughter is already a well-known and talented woman, it makes perfect sense to invent punctuation in her spare time, and this is bound to change the whole habit of writing.

  Maybe it will take time, but it won't be too long, and it may not be able to change the writing on the official documents, but it will definitely shine in the people.
