I have had people go frothing at the mouth when I point out that a lot of #punctuation is "#silence #notation."
A #comma is a point of silence, it is shorter than the point of silence of a #period. #Ellipsis (...) is a fade to silence. #Emdash/dash is an abrupt silence. #Parenthesis invokes a point of silence before and after an aside, much the same length as a comma.
People forget that the written word is made to represent the spoken word, that includes silence and change of pitch.
