Typing Accuracy and Punctuation

Learners extend touch-typing to punctuation: which finger types the comma, period, apostrophe, question mark and exclamation mark, and why shift is held with the opposite hand. They apply typed spacing rules (no space before end marks and commas, one space after), use apostrophes correctly, and measure accuracy 'out of 100' to choose targeted practice.
