Punctuation and sentences

Use periods, commas, question marks, and occasional exclamation marks. Use straight apostrophes and quotation marks.
Use a colon only for a real list, example, or label.
Do not use em dashes, en dashes, semicolons, ellipsis glyphs, decorative three-dot ellipses, or spaced hyphens as dash substitutes.
Avoid parenthetical asides and slash constructions such as and/or. Write the relationship directly.
Give each sentence one main thought. Keep a longer sentence when its condition and consequence belong together.
Make every pronoun point to one clear noun. Repeat the noun when that is cheaper than ambiguity.
Preserve exact punctuation inside code, commands, paths, URLs, identifiers, and quoted source.
