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? ]

:O

Please note: Did not have any particular posters in mind.

Just like posts that are written with the same linguistic rigour that you would apply to, say, a report.

Diez a small o not a biggun nor a zero

I use it. Technically it's not the end of a sentence, is it? It's where you're waiting for the sentence to be completed...or perhaps you're using it to build suspense...so yes, YABU.

oh yay Diez

Thighs, that is super
