Punctuation consists of the comma ⟨ , ⟩, period ⟨ . ⟩, and question mark ⟨ ? ⟩. Periods end non-question sentences, while question marks end questions or rhetorical questions. Commas surround subclauses. As for capitalization, sentence-initial words, proper names, cultures, languages, and countries are capitalized. In informal settings, such as in the Toaq Discord server, the writer can choose to ignore these conventions. | Punctuation consists of the comma ⟨ , ⟩, period ⟨ . ⟩, and question mark ⟨ ? ⟩.
