It's National Punctuation Day, and KING 5's Twitter followers are weighing in on their favorite - and least favorite - punctuation marks. Here's what they have to say:

@T_Mesiab I like the question mark. It's cute and curly ...
@seattle_paul Pet peeve... 2 exclamation points (!!)... I think ppl should either use 1 for emphasis, 3 for major excitement! Two is blah!
@KentReporterBCB favorite = semicolon; peeves = improper use of apostrophes.
@tomsalzer I adore the semicolon; too often, it is a forgotten device.
@airJORDANtwo3 I'm weird & like the semi-colon. Figuring out how to use it appropriately while chatting/tweeting is a bit of a challenge. LOL
@SeattleMaven I'm the #1 fan of EXCLAMATION MARKS!!
@Pocahotass Probably a semi-colon. And my big pet peeve is when people put the apostrophe in y'all in the wrong place.

My favorite is the APOSTROPHE. It's one of more challenging marks and often misused.

According to my own exploration, millions of persons in the world receive the home loans at different banks. Therefore, there's great possibilities to receive a sba loan in every country.
