Punctuation

The period

Periods are used in the following instances.

1. At the end of sentences that do not ask questions or express strong emotion:

The lateral stress still needs to be calculated.

Let him look after himself.

2.After some abbreviations:

M.D., U.S.A., etc.

3.With decimal fractions:

4.056; $6.75; 75.6%

The exclamation point

The exclamation point is used at the end of a sentence that expresses strong emotion, such as surprise or doubt:

The nuclear plant, which was originally expected to cost $1.6 billion, eventually cost more than 14 billion!

Because technical writing requires objectivity and a calm, understated tone, technical writers rarely use exclamation points.

The question mark

The question mark is used at the end of a sentence that asks a direct question:

What did the commission say about effluents?

Do not use a question mark at the end of a sentence that asks an indirect question:

He wanted to know whether the procedure had been approved for use.

When a question mark is used within quotation marks, the quoted material needs no other end punctuation:

"What did the commission say about effluents?" she asked.
