I gather the title is a take-off on the concept of peak oil. I do rather hope it is true, too much frivolous punctuation is annoying. I'd rather see it used properly.

Peak Punctuation
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.

Re: Peak Punctuation
"The Internet offers us nearly infinite space," - well, yes, but Twitter and many texts limit input to 140-160 characters at a time. And as one of the comments mentioned, many texters use no punctuation at all. BTW, the comments on the article about typewriters are worth the link. Thans, Slava.!?!
