Summary/Abstract: The paper disputes the results from the analysis of discussion forum about the causes related to ignorance of punctuation in the texts currently edited by Poles. Having analysed the texts, three categories of views were grouped following the respondents’ opinions. They were the participants of the author’s MOOC online course: 1. Unmasking education; 2. Information and communication technologies as the foundation for dissemination of the simplified writing; 3. Myths about (un)awareness of punctuation. Respondents in both modern spaces of communication (online and offline ones) register both presence of punctuation norm (official and standard communication and ignorance of punctuation principles (unofficial communication in social media).
