Clear communication starts with proper punctuation—and sometimes, a single comma can change everything. In What a Difference a Comma Makes, Dr. Wilbur L. Brower delivers a comprehensive and highly accessible guide to understanding and correctly using the punctuation marks and symbols that shape the English language.

​

Designed for students, educators, and anyone looking to strengthen their writing skills, this book breaks down a wide range of punctuation tools—from the basic period, comma, and exclamation point to semicolons, parentheses, quotation marks, and even symbols like the ampersand and hashtag.
