We hope that he has also mastered the proper use of the comma.
Perhaps he could give you a few pointers.

Hello and welcome.

Whilst I agree the humble comma is the street urchin of punctuation, we should not forget the semi-colon; a lovely thing to behold.

Much better than a colon, which should remain on the inside where it belongs

Hmmm... Second thoughts are suddenly shrouding my mind...

Voice in my head #1: "Maybe i picked the wrong forum"
Voice in my head #2: "Nah, we'll fit in fine!"
Voice in my head #1: "But..."
Voice in my head #2: "I SAID WE'LL BE FINE!"

Voice in my head #1: "ok"

Voice in my head #3: "Eh?"
