Use punctuation


If it doesn't fit anywhere else, it belongs here. Also, come here if you just need to get hammered.

Use punctuation

In the internet tough guy style guide it stipulates that if you are being especially dry or condescending then you shouldn't even use punctuation or capitalization. This is so lame. Whenever I see a post written this way I double the poster's BMI in my imagination. If you are trying to be tough about the "Dungeon Crawl" video game, at least use capitalization and end your sentences with periods.

Re: Use punctuation

You seem way more impressive if you write and punctuate everything perfectly. I am super awesome. End. Fucking nerds. Unnecessary punctuation commences: ~!!#@#$%^&*(*&^%$#$%^$$(*&*%(^&%$*&. Look at all those fancy symbols. Impressive eh? Owned. Uninstall bitch. kekekekekkekekekekeke.

Re: Use punctuation

Duvessa, did you ever figure out the function for negative thanks? Just curious.

Seriously though, some typing quirks can make a post marginally more difficult to read, I agree. I don't see it as a big issue, though - certainly I don't think there's anyone on this forum I ever have trouble understanding (due to punctuation, at least). I can take the extra half a second to figure out where the periods or commas would be.
When your post exists solely to crap on people who don't feel like typing the way you do, AND take a not-so-subtle dig at people who don't meet your particular physical standards in the process, yeah, I don't deem it worth the time it took me to read it, let alone type this reply.
But hey, I'm a masochist~ ;p
