MardyBra · 14/09/2013 11:44

Do all those question marks make you wacky in some way, tired? They make me think of someone who says "I'm mad, me". Wink

Question marks aren't wacky. Ellipses, those are wacky...

Tiredmumno1 · 14/09/2013 11:46

Hmmm not sure considering its not even a word, so I suppose it could be used either way Grin

Tiredmumno1 · 14/09/2013 11:47

Oh Tee Sad I thought I was wacky for a mo there

MardyBra · 14/09/2013 11:47

I used to have an ellipse habit -mainly used when I'd run out of things to say in a post. I've been trying to wean myself off them as I thought they looked a) indecisive and b) poncey.

SpeccyBat · 14/09/2013 11:48

Tired, I'm demonstrating piss-poor punctuating for dramatic effect. Innit?!?!?!

Tiredmumno1 · 14/09/2013 11:48

Poncey Grin that shall be my word of the day.

Tiredmumno1 · 14/09/2013 11:49

Ahhh speccy, I see, very clever Wink

MardyBra · 14/09/2013 11:49

It's the multi-question mark habit that's a little too try-hard imo.

Definitely LMC going by Mn's class obsession this morning.

Actually, I'm hopping mad here. Need broadband help. New thread in about 1 min. Help!!!!!!!!!!!

MardyBra · 14/09/2013 11:56

So if I use only single punctuation does that make me

A) dull

B) classy?

Tiredmumno1 · 14/09/2013 11:59

I am wondering if this is a trick question????? Grin

If I say dull, then you may track me down and kick my arse.

OR

If I say classy, then you may pee yourself a little bit laughing Wink

So I would say it's just normal.

I love interrobangs. Doesn't everyone?!

mrspremise · 14/09/2013 12:05

Interrobangs?! Gotta love 'em Grin

MardyBra · 14/09/2013 12:06

I've just had to google interrobangs. I should have deduced what they are from your post katy.

OP posts:
MardyBra · 14/09/2013 12:07

I was just wondering if there is a positive correlation between people who use the multi-question marks and also use "should of".

OP posts:
Tee2072 · 14/09/2013 12:57

Well I should of checked with Tiredmummo1 to see if it would of upset her to tell her ??? isn't wacky.

(Note, it took me 3 tries to type that rather than should have and would have. Grin)

ThePuffyShirt · 14/09/2013 13:06

I have a friend who texts and e-mails all in caps and with excessive use of question and exclamation marks.

?????????HER MESSAGES LOOK LIKE THIS!!!!

They make me feel a bit panicked.

Tiredmumno1 · 14/09/2013 13:58

Very good Tee Grin and yes you should of.

Wink
