I like to break up my sentences with a piece of string cheese. Of course you can't see what I'm eating where you're at. I type a sentence-eat a piece. It tastes good, and it's loaded with calcium.

Hey, look at my new tag!! Thanks, Tag Fairy! But, um, now I have ellipses following me wherever I go. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

That is too funny!!! You so deserve it and I hope that you have a sense of humor. Meant in the most unsnarky way!

Judging by your posts, I think your computer has a built-in snark-check.

How did you know? Right up there next to my spell check on my google toolbar...

I can tell. Sometimes I'll be reading your posts and I'll be like all "Oh, no she didn't!" and then I'll go back and reread it and see that you didn't.

Nope, sorry, no sense of humor whatsoever. I sit at my computer and proofread every person's post, checking for excessive ellipses, with angry puffs of steam coming out my nose each time I find such a post.

Hey, go gamble or something!

Duckfan-in-Chicago, I'm watching you!

i type like that alot of the time... but I use punctuation too. At least its better than a paragraph were the writing is all mess up ( happens alot with the new disers on the TB)
Such as, when they say:

Ya bt i kno tht i wnt want 2do tht u kno? At least us Loveable Outstanding Teen Posters don't type like that all the time

 

[makinorlando]

I do this....sometimes, but I also use punctuation, so I hope I'm not the one you're talking about.

And I agree and I know I've said it before, but use paragraph breaks, even if it's not really a correct place for a paragraph. Put one in, anyway! Otherwise it's too hard to read and I tend to skip over the post.

T&B -

I use kitten photos to insert page breaks into my posts!

I also like a smiley appropriately placed in a sentence as well! What do you call those stories with pictures instead of words?

I agree...it's the paragraphs that are important.

 

[MOMTOCUTESTDOGEVER]

The use of ellipses is *real* punctuation and I use them to convey the way I actually speak. Most "southeners" do not speak in a clipped, stacatto fashion and I'm no exception.

An ellipsis can also be used to indicate a pause in speech, an unfinished thought or, at the end of a sentence, a trailing off into silence. Ellipses are sometimes used in this manner for internet chat, email, and forum posts. This was taken from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellipsis

Whew! I use them to end some of my thoughts. Now I a know it's legal and shouldn't upset anyone...

Whew!

I didn't want to end up in DIS grammer jail!

 

[slk537]

I use them all the time. Just check out any one of my previous posts and you'll find them littered with ellipsis everywhere. I do this so I sound more conversational, not to sound less intelligent .

I definitely agree with the lack of paragraph posts, as well as the run on sentences. Those drive me crazy. I tutored English in college and that kind of thing used to make the back of my neck ache.

I don't know...doesn't bother me much!

Yeah, I noticed that about you!

There--I did it, too...

I don't know why this cracked me up! Probably because I so identify!


MouseWorshipin, You're too old to flippin care about this sort of thing!

Waaahh! Tag Fairy is right (and Fair, which is funny considering her (it's?) name). I said it.

Oh my gosh your cat is beautiful! I don't have any opinions on the various grammer issues...just wanted to share my feelings about the cat
