   #WritersCoffeeClub #writing community 11/9 Do you ever use particular punctuation characters, like [, ], {, }, <, >, #, _, *?

   I like semi-colons—a lot!

   Unfortunately my editors don't.

     @medievalist Yes, and it's large. (I'm edited once, by my US publishers, though: they have a bigger budget, so more resources, and they're the larger market.)

     @cstross Is there a difference between UK and US editorial practice?
