These other signs are used as well: colon :, semi-colon ;, parentheses, quotation mark ", apostrophe ' , equal sign =, exclamation mark !, pound sign #, and the @ at sign. You may be wondering just what all the above stuff means, but all will be explained in these lessons. There are other symbols but these will do for now. Html7.jpg
