When I was at school my English teacher told me I was abusing commas. Then, as an undergraduate, a supervisor circled in red every single semicolon I'd used in my weekly essay, with sufficiently humiliating results. I started my Masters, and my supervisor underlined every hyphen in my first draft essay. Coming soon in PhD research near you: go home, colons! I am never, ever going to get this part of punctuation nailed.
