to remind MNers that overuse of punctuation makes them look like a dick?

[MardyBra]

Just the single question mark or exclamation mark, please!

[Floggingmolly]

What's your problem, exactly???????

[MardyBra]

So fucking predictable.

[Innogen]

YABU!!!!!!!!!!!

[MardyBra]

Seriously. It's the punctuation equivalent of "I'm mad, me."

[MardyBra]

[MeepMeepVrooom]

Why do you care? (resisting the temptation)

[BakerStreetSaxRift]

I agree.

My pet peeve is posts with an exclamation mark at the end of every sentence.

[MardyBra]

I'd bet there is a positive correlation between posters who use multiple punctuation and who say "should of/would of".

[DontForgetTheLightAlesLawrence]

YANBU

[DitsyDonkey]

Get a life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bobot]

Now who looks like the bigger dick????

[MardyBra]

You see, the one person with the classy user name is agreeing with me.

[PissesGlitter]

It's not really something to get your knickers in a knot about though is it?

[BillyBanter]

Sometimes you need emphasis! And sometimes you need emphasis!!!!!

It doesn't make people dicks. It makes you think they are dicks. You're wrong though.

[TheArticFunky]

Ten looks silly but you could argue that one or two extra emphasises your point. It may be grammatically incorrect but worse things happen at sea.

[MardyBra]

I'm not posting from a phone Derek.

[BIWI]

Fuck. I can't tell who is serious or who is taking the piss.

I shall lie down in a field of emoticons

[MardyBra]

Sure, worse things happen at sea Artic. But I've just endured lurking on several threads where the !!!!! and the ????? piss me off.

[BillyBanter]

I think once is overuse, frankly, Derek.
