    "in 1905, #Moscow printers demanded to be paid for setting not only letters but also #punctuation marks, which required the same action and the same amount of time as the alphabet. What is known as the #CommaStrike spread popular #boycott throughout the country, leading to the #czar ceding #Russia its first constitution. A #comma can, more or less, get the blood boiling."
