Punctuation is FULLY a part of grammar! It is COMPLETELY in my jurisdiction!

Be that as it may, the punctuation police don't exist yet, and there also isn't a department in the grammer police that deals with punctuation. If you made one now, your claim would be invalid because at the time that I wrote that, there wasn't one.  :-\

Well there might be a punctuation division but they have never announced that because they firgured they would only have to put the grammar police out on patrol ;P

No. Punctuation is part of grammar. It's like saying I need separate people to run the semi-colon division, the capitalization division, the split infinitive division, and the comma division. Everything falls under the wide umbrella of grammar. Just about everything that has to do how words form sentences is grammar. That includes the punctuation between them.

Finally! One of my pet peeves is bad grammar online!  ;D

Maybe it's because she's different--not the same
And such an identity satisfies my artistic brain...

I usually ignore bad grammar on a chat program, but if someone can't take the time to capitalize on a forum, it starts to bug me. :P

On that note, it is now time for grammatically correct and incorrect alike to join for our monthly Kumbaya meeting where we all sit in a circle and share our feelings. :P Just remember, convicts are here for a reason, so all feelings must be grammatically correct. :P

When cities burn and armies turn,
and flee in disarray,
Cowards will cry 'tis best to fly
and fight another day.
But warriors know it in their marrow when they die and fall,
It is better to have fought and lost than not have fought at all.

You cannot arrest me, it was an impression and I write full blown novels for Pete's sake!  ;)

BUT, if you wish to arrest those in SE England then you are a bit stuck...you would have to arrest over 10 million people!
