"Une bonne notation a une subtilité et une suggestivité qui la font parfois presque ressembler à un professeur. Des irrégularités de notation sont souvent le premier signe d'erreurs philosophiques, et une notation parfaite serait un substitut de la pensée." – Bertrand Russell (1872–1970)

"A good notation has a subtlety and suggestiveness which at times make it seem almost like a live teacher. Notational irregularities are often the first sign of philosophical errors, and a perfect notation would be a substitute for thought." – Bertrand Russell (1872–1970)

I have had people go frothing at the mouth when I point out that a lot of #punctuation is "#silence #notation."

A #comma is a point of silence, it is shorter than the point of silence of a #period. #Ellipsis (...) is a fade to silence. #Emdash/dash is an abrupt silence. #Parenthesis invokes a point of silence before and after an aside, much the same length as a comma.

People forget that the written word is made to represent the spoken word, that includes silence and change of pitch.
