Punctuation

Following are the elementary punctuation rules

Interjection | The most neglected part of speech in Punjab, Pakistan

Let me take the opportunity to break this sad news that Interjection is the most neglected part of speech. Specifically, it's importance is overlooked in the school or colleges of Punjab, Pakistan particularly Rawalpindi.
To my utter surprise, a lecturer of local university has no understanding of this part of speech. She was also at that time preparing for her B.Ed.and totally taken aback with respect to Interjection and it's uses in English language.
So let me give in black and white A to Z of interjections commonly used in the language. However, it is needless to mention here, I am going to give the definition of this part of speech!

Interjection

Structures with poignant charge and communicative quality utilized in a statement to hint are called interjections or simply, rationally based feelings' descriptors . However, for complete understanding, please read Vladimir Ž. Jovanović paper on "The form, position and meaning of Interjections in English."

Examples 

 Ack! communicates disgust or dismissal.

 Ah! can denote positive emotions like relief or delight (generally, pronounced with a long a).

 Aha! signals triumph or surprise, or perhaps derision.

 Ahem! is employed to gain attention.

 Argh! often drawn out with additional h’s, is all about frustration.

 Aw! can be dismissive or indicative of disappointment, or, when drawn out, expressive of sympathy or adoration.

 Aye! denotes agreement.

Bah! is dismissive.

Blah! communicates boredom or disappointment.

Hamana-hamana! spelled differently, and replicated as needed, means speechless embarrassment.

Oh is among the most versatile of interjections. Use it to indicate comprehension or acknowledgment (or, with a question mark, a request for verification), to preface direct address (“Oh, sir!”), as a sign of approximation or example (“Oh, about three days”), or to express emotion or serves as a response to a pain or pleasure. (Ooh is a variant useful for the last two purposes.)

Oh-oh! (or alternatives in which oh is followed by various words) is a warning response to something that will have negative repercussions.

Olé! with an accent mark over the e, is borrowed from Spanish and is a vocal flourish to celebrate a smart or adroit scheme.
