punctuationless

Missing all stops

Punctuationless describes writing that lacks punctuation marks—no commas, periods, apostrophes, or other conventional symbols that typically structure text.

The term usually describes stylistic choices in poetry or experimental prose: The punctuationless stream of consciousness made the passage feel breathless.

Sometimes describes hasty or careless writing: His punctuationless texts were hard to parse.
