I understand about the development and evolution of languages, but who first looked at a run on sentence and thought: "Golly, that could use a comma, or semicolon, or even an end with a period."?
What are the oldest surviving documents discovered with punctuation? Anyone out there know? It would have been something interesting to learn in English class, along with learning the correct punctuation for our language.
