*raises hand* I am bad with punctuation

Wow, I feel much better now that I got that out

Does this mean I'm going to have to start ending my sentences with a period?

If June is challenged by ', I just want to say with me, it's pure laziness

Yes. (note the period)

Have you ever talked like you write? Actually say the words "she said" or "question mark" at the end of a sentence when you ask a question?

It is sorta fun and it's not as easy as you'd think

Warning though... (counts three)

it may land you a slap especially if the someone you are talking is allowed to slap you and sometimes even when they are not.

Spell check that, Mr. Bent.

Spirit-ness (c)

Well, some might spell it "whack" job. But this thread is about punctuation, Juney, so I will remain on seated hands with regard to the atrocities of spelling found within.

Ya know, I think that people are just too worried about "being wrong" with punctuation (or grammar) because of the mean-ole-English-teacher stereotype (and lived experiences).

Laziness is one thing, but I think that even text-messaging is its own, valid language (just sayin').

BTW: I adore Stein.

girl_dee · 03-04-2011, 07:33 PM

I am sure nothing compares to the complete overuse of the punctuation mark.

I find this to be mostly true on forums like Facebook.

It just annoys the HELL out of me !!!!!! oh wait...

My grammar is sparkly.

It's going to be like that is it? I refuse to believe you use dots in speech in real time. What you do is pause, which is not the intended use of ellipses. My goat will not be gotten, lady!

It IS going to be like that, Mister.
THANK You for seeing things my way! That made me happy!

And I HAVE been known ~ on occasion ~ to actually SAY "Dot, dot, dot" (I might even do the little chubby quote fingers, TOO! What do You say to THAT, Peter Puncto?)

Your goat.
Mine..................all MINE!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
