Re: how good/bad is your punctuation?
Never a bad thing. BTW is their a typographic code available for UK or US on the Net ? Not only punctuation, but how to abbreviate, type titles and so on...

Re: how good/bad is your punctuation?
Yes, please.
Here, the National printers (the ones who do the bank notes and the ID documents) have their code and each editors adapt from it.

Re: how good/bad is your punctuation?
i think its pretty standard world wide. only thing is with punctuation, to use the british guide rather than american. unless of course you're marketing to the states.
