I, think, my, favorite, is, probably, the, comma.

Don’t get me wrong. It’s an indicator for a joke here, but it’s also an equivalent of – in Japanese. You can also make emoticon with it 0~0
.
Period, full-stop, end of story. No more discussion.
The ellipsis. So much has been said by so little.
The dash – and the three little dots, of course…
semi-colons. They are so versatile.
IBD patients love their semicolon jokes….:P
@Mariah – I’m so sorry, I laughed way too hard at that. Ow. My nose. Coffee. Ow.
Sorry about your nose! I have a shirt that just has a big semicolon on the front. It’s a secret code to help us find each other.
By far, italics and the em dash—I blame my early exposure to the prose of J.D. Salinger and Tom Wolfe for that.
The colon. Hard to use right, but elegant when deployed correctly and not to excess.
Got to be the exclamation !
I like exclamation points*!!!!!!!!!!!!!* @ZEPHYRA great minds think alike. lol
Love the question mark too!!??.??
The exclamation mark. I reckon we really underuse punctuations, especially my favourites!!!!!!What do you think???????
The apostrophe. So rarely used correctly, but a little mark can add so much clarity.
@Jeruba Shush, speak not of colons, mine must be scoped soon. lol
