I see people

type like this

with double space

more for each day

on this forum.


I've also noticed

it's annoying to

quote their posts

Why do people

do that?

It makes

it harder

to read

their posts.

Anyone who

does that

should be

banned!!!

I'm kidding. Don't ban me!!!11

the dots....
they can be used to designate a pause... or to show that something has been left out... (if you are quoting a lengthy passage, and you want to leave part of it out... the dots indicate that you have done so)

I only have one problem:

People who don't use any punctation. (Especially questionmarks.)

We are not in the year 2399, and a Smiley doesn't replace a questionmark.
