Can you elaborate on these physics-like symbols for punctuation errors?

I must admit, chapters eight and nine were equivalent to caressing elderly dirt.  Being an English teacher, who actually covers grammar in this half-stepping New York City school system, I am still recuperating from these very "technical sections"; nevertheless, I will remain as optimistic as possible.

Anywhich, after just tutoring someone today, I noticed I already ask "around" the problem, rather than solely pointing it out and creating a "dead end" solution.  I also have my students relate such problems to the overall essays/papers.  Here I use the Bedford Guide's revision section (since I like that text better) into three categories: "Overall Gist" (Global Revision), "Rewriting" (Sentence-level Revision) and "Editing" (Editing and Proofreading" for all the tedious leftovers their eyes desire to feast on.

Since we all know reading aloud eliminates many of the slipshod grammatical and syntactical errors, I picked up on creating physics-like symbols for punctuation solutions.  How else do you all work with sentence-level and punctuation errors?
