I legitimately dont understand why periods or commas are necessary or useful and would bet a lot of folks my age and younger feel the same way question marks and exclamation points are ok but you know what they say its always best to throw the baby out with the bathwater I feel eventually aloof us will stop punctuating things and written communication and literature will be better off for it

i really liked no country for old men (both book and film) so i tried to read the road but the first like ten pages are 90% synonyms for gray or black and while i get trying to shoot for an atmosphere there comes a point where i'm just going to check out

really need to try that one again :\

Subject verb; subject verb.

Dog ran; cat ran.
It makes two sentences, that might not have a connection, have a connection with missing information.

The dog chased the cat.
