As members of the academic community and bearer of the society progress, students should beware of their written expression, primarily because theycultivate their language expression and contribute for protecting and strengthening the stability of the language norm.

Yet they have relevant role in forming the text according to the orthographic norm. Thus, the paper examines the use of the punctual and orthographic mark colon.
