Hell now I wanna learn to knit just so I can make a javelin jacket. Also, yes punctuation at the end of texts. Also, I never abbreviate crap like "omw" or "nvm" or otherwise words that are not commonly abbreviated (such as 'etc.'). Texting is informal enough. Not gonna make it look like some teenage shit with all lowercase and no punctuation. I go a step further though and use, when appropriate, M or N dashes, ellipses, colons and semi colons, etc. where appropriate. I have a thing for reminding people that I am intellectually superior to them in passive aggressive ways.
Seriously, I just noticed that nobody fucking puts a period at the end. What is happening? I actually scrolled down through everyone I've texted for like a month. No one consistently ends their texts with punctuation. I feel like I need to email my high school English teacher, she would understand where I'm coming from. Thank gob! Me too, man, me too. Properly capitalized and spelled out. I'm sure I annoy the shit out of people because I'm sort of wordy but I don't care.
If my text is several sentences, I put periods or question marks at the end of all of them except the last one. I type it and then hit send
It lets the reader know that something else hilarious or insightful may be sent later. The first batch wasn't the end
I may send several consecutive texts, to make sure the reader knows that I'm annoying, but every. single. sentence. regardless of it's place in the message has the appropriate punctuation. I'll admit I may throw in an exclamation point when it's not necessary but my sarcasm does not translate well to text so it is what it is.
After I cum in my wife I pull out and wipe the last bit on her stomach. Let's her know I'm finished. That's kinda like a period at the end I guess?
Add me to the side that spells and punctuates texts. My grandmother was an English teacher and she beat that shit into me with a 2x4.
+1. If nothing else, it communicates to the reader that I'm not a 13 year old. This place has trained me well also. I recently joined another forum where folks regularly use emojis, and it creeps me out.
So if any of y'all felt bad (I know you didn't) that I was dismayed last night over not having a pair of binoculars, worry no more! I now have a nice pair of high powered Minoltas.
I'll admit to a conservative use of emojis in text and even occasionally on Facebook. Every time I use one I cringe a little bit though. TiB has made me emoji gun shy.
Now you can spy on your neighbors with ease! I've succumbed to using emojis, but I'm still sanctimonious about my punctuation. Please don't shoot me.
You mean squirt gun? Shit pissed me off when they replaced the pistol with that green gun. Pussification of america. Squirt gun pointing to a big just doesn't look cool when you're trying to tell someone that you're out hog hunting.
You don't hunt with a squirt gun? What a pussy. I haven't gone (deer) hunting in years because I'd rather sleep in and I don't like hunting in the evening. As long as I can still steal some deer jerky from dad, there's no need for me to wake up that early.
Fuck you Gravy. I either have sentence fragments or run-on sentences. I'm aware. I type as I speak and it's not necessarily cohesive. I'm not writing a report so please don't grade me. If we were texting I'd throw in an emoji sticking it's tongue out so you'd know I'm not mad but we're on TiB, so I'll just say "fuck you" again.
