PUNCTUATION!!!
June 08, 2010 02:09PM
, . ? ' " ; : ( ) \ - !!!!!!!

Most of these funny looking symbols can be found to the left of the "enter" key on your keyboard.
Use them!! Jesus F'n Christ!!!!

I'm just saying that for those who are seriously trying to get a point across, you kind of lose any credibility when we can't comprehend what you're posting because you don't use punctuation!! This has to end!!

Grammar policing you say?? You're D@MN right!! Deal with it.

Peace out.

You need a comma after back and before son.


AP Style also says that the comma and period always go within the quotation marks. ("your.")

Is it sad that AP Stylebook 2010 is finally published and I can't wait to get my copy? (It'll be here by the end of the week.)

Also, when they announced that AP Style has confirmed that "Web site" will now become "website," I actually yelled, "It's about time!"

Haha. I'm hoping this thread becomes popular and entertaining enough to educate the masses. That's my goal. Great use of punctuation there Willie. It is most appreciated.

Oh, and as an afterthought to you guys who have trouble with spelling:
If you don't know how to spell a word, look it up before posting it! I promise you will seem more intelligent than you are.
Thanks and come again.

One more thing:
To separate sentences by using a period, type TWO spaces before starting your next sentence. It helps the reader find where your run-ons stop and begin again.

Common misconception. It is arbitrary.

That's how I have to explain it to ignorant art directors.

In your case, comma after back. That is all.

Then you need to refrain from adding "and" to that statement "SON!"
HAHah I be learnin!

Donoghey, you should also include internet etiquette. As for spell check, just get Firefox people. Eric Day's screen would look like a @#$%& murder scene because of all the red swigglies all over his screen.

For the record some HTML will drop that extra space. I personally use it myself (since typing in 1990) but, lots of times when it gets converted to html it only allows a single space.

Opera also has spell check... it's all powerful now. ;)

Ahh.. you guys obviously failed to see the biggest issue.

The "I don't give a fuck" part.

I was simply letting D know that it's not always the posters fault with the double spaces... depending on the website.

All I ask is that some of you stop misusing the word "literally." No, dude. You did not "literally freak out." That makes no sense.
