  • $\begingroup$ @ArkaKarmakar I probably would have found a different phrase to use as the solution. :) $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Can you add an explanation of "So here's a hint to help you out and keep you feeling safe: / Some people say that punctuation rules are absolute. / Ill-use of them is abject and quite low, there's no dispute."? How does the reference to punctuation rules provide a hint? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @msh210 I just saw your comment now; not sure how I missed it. I mention above that I "abused" the rules of punctuation a little (e.g. using semicolons instead of full stops) so that I could put the uppercase letters where I needed them for the hint. If someone examined the punctuation closely, I imagine they might wonder, "Why did he put a semicolon there instead of a full stop?", which might lead them to look at the places where there is a full stop, which is where the uppercase letters spell out the hint. $\endgroup$
