Makes you wonder what the Elizabethans did, before the rules of punctuation settled themselves. At first I wondered how Aristotle, Seneca, Lucretius and other ancient writers managed, but then it occurred to me that Latin and Greek have such elaborate grammar that lack of punctuation could hardly matter.

There isn't any punctuation in Asiatic languages, like Chinese, Japanese, Hindi, etc. is there? Obviously they manage. Perhaps some of our Asian experts can enlighten us.
