i dont understand this at all. i cant even what

It's simple: just let me know the kinds and quantities of punctuation you need, pay me what they cost, and then I'll send them to you over PM!

Wowwwwwwwww. So what if we already have them on our keyboard?

You can buy extras here if you run out, or you can get high quality punctuation for special occasions.

I will put in an order for two exclamation marks, one ampersand, and one tilde please. Now before I pay, is sales tax included or not exist or what? If it does exist? How much is it?

Thank you very much for your order. It's currently being packaged, and a free comma will be included with everything else. Your total comes to $2.15.

As far as I'm aware, there is no ToO sales tax, unless the administration changes something.

Thank ye kindly. I am sure they will go to good use one of these days. Also, it's nice to finally know what an ampersand is.

I would like to order 10 exclamation points. Thank you very much.

Thanks for your business, Kathy! Your order is on its way, and the total cost comes to $2.00. Free comma included.

Thank you very much for your wonderful service.

Which characters do you need, and how many?

Would it be possible for me to send you a sample of writing and have you punctuate it for me?

It's the first time I've gotten such a request, but I'd be happy to do it for you. I'll just bill you the normal rate for the punctuation I use.

NOTICE to all The Punctuation Shop patrons: Thanks to the tireless effort of our employees, the shortage of right parentheses has been resolved, and their price will be returned to 50 cents. We appreciate your patience in this matter.

Done. Thanks for your business.

Is a backslash priced the same as a forward slash?
