ONE MUST STRUCTURE THEIR STATEMENTS WITH CONSIDERABLY MORE CLARITY WHEN THEY DO NOT HAVE THE CRUTCH OF COMMAS AND PARENTHESIS AND OTHER DELIMITERS TO LEAN UPON
But nobody wants to have to live in that world. We all recognize the expressive doors opened-up by our little tool-box of commas and asterisks and hyphens and slashes. And the utility of presentational attributes like bold text and underlines for clarity and expressiveness are no less appreciated.
