Getman's Enhanced Interpunction

Text without interpuntion is confusing and lacks readability. Even current set of these marks doesn't provide statisfactory intonation notation at all times. Sereval people on the Internet that fail to distinguish between comma and period have inspired me to extend this system to be more confusing for them, but for my complicated Czech expressions and overloaded sentences it'll be just fine. It's better than disturbing emoji all over the place, even inside sentences. The strange thing with my English is that I can express myself better without making the text harder to comprehend, yet still it grows to considerable length. Probably because English doesn't use commas that much.

Others are various mathematical operators, currency symbols, unit signs and foreign characters not even in certain fonts. Some look the same as already used characters here, but don't make any pair. Unicode has also many similar-looking characters, some perform unwanted text formatting and spacing. I hope these new interpunction marks will help to write more expressive text as native speakers actually feel the language, whereas I just throw words together as I only think in and understand that language, therefore my usage of these in English won't be practiced. Yeah, made for Czech, specified in English, and that's why I haven't got even 10000 views in 2 years of this blog's existence. Stupid people are not bilingual.
