Unfortunately, I wayyyyy over-use punctuation on here. For me, I use commas and ..... to emphasize, so to speak. If anyone has heard me actually talk and heard this thick Southern accent that I have, you'll know that I tend to speak with a lot of pauses and emphasis on things (and a lot of drawl on my words). When writing, I tend to use commas especially, to show the emphasis. Basically, I write how I talk. (And I say talk instead of speak, cause, well...lol) Unfortunately, I guess when reading from someone else's perspective, I probably look like a comma crazed maniac, or at very least, a serial punctuation-ist.
