I have a few questions on punctuation:
In different posts, I notice the following:
My name is...
My name is ...
My name is . . .
Is it a matter of choice, or are there rules governing spacing and
punctuation...
Which leads to my next question: In French, you write:
[How are you ?]
[I'm fine !]
But in English you write:
How are you?
I'm fine!
Where does the practice of separating punctuation from the sentence come from?
