According to Chase’s Calendar of Events, the faux holiday celebrates “the lowly comma, correctly used quotation marks, and other proper uses of periods, semicolons, and the ever-mysterious ellipsis.”
Musings from an overworked translator 
I lament the widespread ignoring of single inverted commas (‘thus’) as opposed to double (“thus”). It seems the former are almost extinct, whereas the latter have been universalised.
It sounds like a great idea! There should be a National Punctuation Day on our side of the Pond, too!
