Designer and web developer Curtis Newbold, focused on improving the visual literacy, has created a chart that will let you learn how to use 14 major punctuation marks.

In total, there are 69 specific rules included, but Newbold notes:

The reality is, if you can just learn what each of the punctuation marks do, you won’t have to worry so much about all the ways not to use them.
