20. Punctuation marks
This sentence is a !!! premature punctuator.

I've always loved that one. I don't know where I first saw it, but ever since, exclamation marks have been my favorite form of punctuation.

22. "these"
Air quotation marks made with the fingers are useful in conversation. Just two little peace signs, like Richard Nixon used to make. Other punctuation just looks obscene when displayed with fingers.
