It's interesting that our conlangs have so few marks of punctuation as a
general rule. Most people seem to get by with three or four marks or
fewer. Yet English and Spanish (two languages with which I'm familiar)
have somewhere around twelve. Hebrew has -- what? All I can remember is
the complete stop, but I know there's more than that. Why such a dearth
of punctuation among conlangs, I wonder. Or is English/Spanish/etc.
atypical?
