Punctuation is also exceptionally important.

Let's eat, Grandma.

Vs

Let's eat Grandma.

Punctuation can save a life.

Years ago we had a guy come into the shop from down south of the border. He saw some Mickey Thomson valve covers hanging on the wall and asked how much for the empty heads. We were scratching our heads for a moment until we looked at them on the top of the valve cover is M/T.
