I don't think they are pointless. But, I probably use them in the wrong way. But, even I can notice when people use them poorly. I do my best. Probably why I like short sentences...lol. Disagree.

Commas make the world go around with no commas everything is just one long never ending sentence not only that without commas the meaning of a sentence can dramatically change. Anyone read 'Eats, shoots and leaves'?
The tilde is absolutely not pointless. It is the single most beautiful character in the Roman alphabet.
And in Spanish we use it above the n in certain words and it makes them sound different. The n with the tilde on top used to be a letter of its own, but they changed the alphabet a few years ago.
