overpunctuation
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Etymology: From over- + punctuation.
Senses: examples: text: There is no need of the commas after vindictive and the four words subsequent; and so many needless points serve rather to confuse. Overpunctuation is a very common fault in our American books; the rules of Mandeville, Goold Brown, and Mulligan, as well as of Wilson’s Punctuation, do not tend to cure the evil, but rather to perpetuate it, since they lead the writer to put in a comma wherever, by rule, there may be a place for one, without inquiring into the necessity for it.
ref: 1861, Scriba, “Punctuation.—Number IV.”, in The Illinois Teacher: Devoted to Education, Science, and Free Schools, volume VII, Peoria, Ill.: N. C. Nason, page 389:
text: Under those circumstances, I felt obliged to use every device I could imagine to assist them in reading their lines, and sprinkled punctuation amid my prose like a glutton sugaring strawberries. It helped, and I tend to overpunctuate to this day. I practice overpunctuation, although I do not defend it. But the word processor, I believe, will in time change our perceptions of what constitutes overpunctuation.
ref: 1984, Stephen White, The Written Word, and Associated Digressions Concerned with the Writer as Craftsman, Harper & Row, →ISBN, pages 73 and 93:
text: When in doubt, overpunctuate. Punctuation is important in all types of writing, but it is mandatory in international documents. Without punctuation, the probability of the evaluator getting lost increases dramatically. Overpunctuate international proposals, even though the trend is to under punctuate in domestic correspondence. The intent of punctuation is to add clarity, so make sure your overpunctuation is correct.

underpunctuation
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: under-punctuation
Etymology: From under- + punctuation.
Senses: examples: text: The trend of good writing is toward underpunctuation. Or, rather, if writing needs an array of marks, like an assortment of golf clubs, it is a sign that the writer’s method is becoming too involved.
ref: 1911 May 11, “The Comma”, in The Daily Missoulian, volume XXXVIII, number 6, Missoula, Mont., page 4:
text: Overpunctuation is just as bad as underpunctuation. Therefore if you either omit a needed mark or insert a mark that is not needed, the sentence is wrong.
ref: 1933, J[acob] C[loyd] Tressler, M[arguerite] B[lack] Shelmadine, Junior English in Action, book three, Boston, Mass.; New York, N.Y.; Chicago, Ill.: D. C. Heath and Company, page 120:
text: Do you approve this punctuation? Inspect the punctuation of the whole composition. On the whole, is it good? Does the writer err on the side of underpunctuation or overpunctuation?
ref: 1939, W[alter] W[ilbur] Hatfield, Senior English Activities, Boston, Mass.; Atlanta, Ga.; Dallas, Tex.; San Francisco, Calif.: American Book Company, page 277:
text: Main trouble with “The House We Used to Haunt” and “The Wizzard One” is each other. Kids are cute, but somehow five pages of underpunctuation, pseudo-naïve sentence structure, and well-calculated grammatical errors are less than cute.
ref: 1953 October 29, Miriam Dressler, “Terrific, At Least! Columbia “Jester” Combines Sarcasm And Sex; Shows Humor, Not Subtlety”, in Barnard Bulletin, page 2:
text: The book is enlivened by wry comments (“The East India Company’s commissions implied social inferiority, as they were obtainable by merit only, and not, like the more coveted Queen’s commissions, by purchase”). but it is marred by a Southern Rhodesian system of under[-]punctuation and an almost gloating anti-French bias.
ref: 1961 June 14, J. C. W., “Blunder in Crimea”, in The Richmond News Leader, Richmond, Va., page 13:
text: Underpunctuation is common practice in the legal genre (Duff 1995: 1109). The following two examples are both more than 40 characters in length and contain no punctuation.

under-punctuation
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Senses: examples: text: Mr. Kirkup was probably ill-advised to print the long poems. Over-paragraphing, under-punctuation, and short lines, make them appear wispier than they really are, and some good imagery and observation is swamped by the personal and dreamy fantasy.
ref: 1948, Tribune, page 17:
text: Under-punctuation (which is fashionable to-day) throws a great deal of the burden of interpretation on the reader, and sometimes leaves him with obscurities and ambiguities. Over-punctuation has the same effect as unnatural variations of the voice and exaggerated gestures in speaking.
ref: 1957, George Henry Vallins, “Points of Punctuation”, in Good English: How to Write It, London: Pan Books Ltd., page 112:
text: The short answer would be that both bear the customary stigmata of avant-garde prose: typographical oddity, under-punctuation, a liberal sprinkling of the four-letter words.
ref: 1958 March 9, Rayner Heppenstall, “Tramp-Reality”, in The Observer, number 8,697, London, page 17:
