Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The development of punctuation, capitalization, and spacing in English is credited to the efforts of priests and monks during the Middle Ages, who added marks to clarify meaning and aid in the reading aloud of texts. Gutenberg is known for inventing the printing press, but he did not develop the rules of punctuation and capitalization. The publication of Canterbury Tales did not involve the creation of new rules for punctuation and capitalization. Wang Chieh was a Chinese Buddhist monk who lived in the ninth century and is known for his work on the Diamond Sutra, but this is not related to the development of English language punctuation and capitalization.
