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

[MardyBra]

Just the single question mark or exclamation mark, please!

I'm feeling utterly pissed off today!!!!! So is it ok to be excused from being a dick???????

I don't care if I'm a dick''!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just imagine me shouting loudly and in shock!

Underuse makes you look far worse.

And saying people look like a dicks just because they use a few too many exclamation marks is well over the top. The only thing that annoys me ( on a vocabulary/punctuation level ) is posters who use swear words in thread titles, well it doesn't annoy me, just makes me think they're a bit immature.

I generally tend to judge a poster based on how well they can sting a sentence together, their vocabulary and whether they fall into grammar traps such as would have/would of, should have/should of.

I use multiple exclamation marks sometimes but only ironically so that's OK.

I find this really strange, how can you hold someone to account when they have had a shit education? Go and blame their school!

Well, when you only have the words that they type to base an opinion on, you kind of have to. It's not a great shocker.

I've never thought your posts were poor, Derek!

I love trailing dots, I think they leave people with a sense of.......

anticipation!!!!!!

I not judge me on nuffink coz it make u a twat innit ????????????????

Seriously though I have a decent brain but terrible spelling and stuff due to a learning disability - judge away - it doesn't bother me really but it makes you appear a bit of a cock x

What is a cock x?

it's the word 'cock' and a little kiss x

I often end my posts with a x because I know it makes pedants itch all over

hth x

Awww, thanks gordy!

The kiss doesn't make me itch but the lack of full stops do.

Xxxx

Well yes, I look at the words and the meaning behind them, is the poster agreeing with my train of thought, is the poster being offensive, I dont notice the grammer.

I'll. bare. that. in. mind. .

Come on, gordy. Get back to doing hilarious perfume names on the other trhead. 'Unusual Man' made me roar!

I'll put my hand up to trailing dots. It's either that or crack.

Sob, it didn't work.

twats and pendants.....!!!!!!??????

Notso in awe.

As I said the last time this came up in a thread (they are quite regular aren't they, these types of threads?) .... I love exclamation marks!!!! And trailing dots.

If you think I'm unintelligent and/or a tit/dick for this then that is fine. You can't get on with everyone in life and I'm not keen on the sort of person who sneers at another's spelling/grammar/punctuation. So we're both happy!
