to really really not like people putting three full stops at the end of sentences

[emkana]

There are a few posters who do this.

I really don't like it, totally changes the "voice" of the post in my head.

[Fussy, moi? ]

I ...do...this...
It just makes me feel warm inside

ah, now thighs, this ::is a way to get emoticons into your text

ie

::forumtart:: (which produces a gurning smilie)

see?

fernie grrrrrrrrrrrr

huh?

Nope

random... what's with the :: ?

post of 22.50 for ThighsWideShut

Yeah, what TFM said....

it's deliberate....

OK?......

Saves time writing endless lists to complete a statement when everyone knows the natural path you are taking; is good.

OOO Thighswideshut... Of course----> That'll do nicely - TA!!

I like a nice ellipsis. Sometimes, though, I get a little bit trigger-happy and instead of finishing my sentence in the approved fashion I do this................

I don't know why. I'm thinking of joining Over-Punctuators Anonymous.

I totally do this....AND i don't use caps much.

I should be first against the wall come the pedant's revolution

::Nope:: ::still:: ::don't:: ::get:: ::it::

How can it be an emoticon? Am I just realllllly thick?

"first against the wall come the pedant's revolution"

I do it a lot at the end of sentences, but then I do the equivalent when speaking in real life too (ramble on and then sort of peter out like this...)

I do it occasionally in mid-sentence to indicate a meaningful pause, but only occasionally, I think.

oh bum didn't explain well

on here you do bracket word bracket and up pops the emoticon

on other forums if you do colon colon word colon colon then you get the icon

same idea

poorly explained

bracket blush bracket

I am definitely guilty.

I think it makes me seem mysterious...

I will try and restrain myself in future!

I don't get this :: either. How can that look like a grin?

Ah, I get it. Other fora use :: instead of [ ] ?

Ah, I see.

Thanks Random, I get ya!

Is it me the OP is complaining about? I always do it...

Me too, ProfLayton... I tend to type as I speak, sort of thing. I love punctuation, me. And spelling. But not grammar, can't be doing with that. Or hard sums.

...

::otherforumsareshit::

ha, look at that ^

somehow my :: made a smilie!

yay someone understands me !

I can retire to bed once more
