"You need to offer ' and the odd ; too.  "
Oh yes, the odd "too" would be useful and a shelfful of their/there/they're. Don't get me started! I know I'll get things chucked at me. Duck! |

"...
I'm really an ellipsis kind of guy.
I love an ellipsis... You never know where it might lead you.
Exactly, oh the possibilities. "
Hatter...it led me to read your profile. Really enjoyed it, so thanks for a couple of minutes well spent. Only trouble is I'll always associate Fab with David Attenborough now...  |

"Some people have too many ???, and are replacing !!! with them!! What is that about???   "
Sometimes there is not enough room for all the ???'s you need when other times !!!! is the only sufficient answer |

That's because a lot of people access fab on their smartphones, then try and use the emojis on their phone, which end up as ?? .... rather than the fab emojis which are the only ones that work on here  |

Thank you for that explanation. I couldn't work out why people were sticking question marks on statements with no question, implied or explicit, in them. I thought it was because of the increasing tendency to have a questioning rising inflection at the end of sentences.

No, no. They are our North Eastern friends.
I shall finish this with a rising inflection?
(And a round of the Blaydon Races).
And I know I shouldn't start a sentence with an "and" but I couldn't resist. |

I don't think you can type a pronunciation or dialect, it's usually more an abbreviation of a word. |

I agree - if they're certain about something, I'd prefer to know this, rather than be left uncertain.
And I like restraint from use of multiple overdone punctuation. I'm not perfect but it's like an example of where less is more!!! |

"Wow i can't believe there is a whole thread just for this shit period "
Well said, in a grammar deficient way. Who needs ... grammar anyway?
The obvious lack of support for this thread proves it's worth doesn't it?
And for the record, a sentence can begin with "And". But using the same word twice in that sentence must be frowned upon. |
