Pride in Punctuation

Theresa · **Fri Feb 27, 2004 11:04 am Pride in Punctuation**

Some of you are really killing me here,

We'll have this topic for those of you who honestly don't know your punctuation to learn from,

Don't post here if your post is going to be something like this:

"hi my name is Theresa and I like dogs and cats I watch TV sometimes but only SG1 and JAG oh yeah I watch sports too I like chocolate and sometimes have massive cravings and do tell me how many times did you have to read this sentence to understand it?"

I told Thomas I'd do this yesterday,

I know some of you don't care, but think of the people who have to read what you say. YOU know what you are trying to say, but we don't. And punctuation makes it incredibly easier to decipher.

So, what are we suppsed to be doing here? I'm so very confused about what we are supposed to be typing here. Maybe I should just ramble on about how confused I am, using various punctuation marks to spite people. Hmm...I suppose that could work, but only if SHAKA!

Theresa · **Fri Feb 27, 2004 11:10 am**

As long as you use puncuation, I don't care what you say,

I just want ONE topic that I can go in and read without difficulty.

Defiant · **Fri Feb 27, 2004 11:18 am**

"wante"? Nice one.

So, I can say like: "T smells funny, and doesn't wear shoes?" As long as I have correct punctuation, I can say that?

Theresa · **Fri Feb 27, 2004 11:26 am**

You can. And thank you ever so much for the delicate way you pointed out my typo. I'll be sure to take care of that immediately,

Cretin,

Defiant · **Fri Feb 27, 2004 11:29 am**

I'll cretin you! Umm...Can't think of anything funny to say that you want mod away, so I imagine i'll go back to saying nothing, or just running away. Hmm...*runs away!*

Theresa · **Fri Feb 27, 2004 11:31 am**

"want mod away"? Did you mean "won't mod away"?

And if it's clean, and non-offensive, I won't say anything,

After all, I pick on everyone else, so I can't get all pissy when teased myself.

Thank you. Seriously, thank you so much for this topic! I support your efforts fully. How refreshing is it to have a place where we can read, as well as understand, what is being posted. In my eyes, you are now a god.

Jeff Miller · **Fri Feb 27, 2004 2:36 pm**

Oh please,

T get's called "God" atleast 5 times a week. Do we need to inflate her ego anymore?

Good luck with that.Now that everyone knows you'll be looking,they'll be careful not to mess up.

OH! I'm sorry, T. I suppose I should change it to, "goddess." I did not mean to insult your femininity.

IntrepidIsMe · **Fri Feb 27, 2004 4:21 pm**

Yeah, the spelling and punctuation can get really bad here sometimes, very annoying.

It's ok if it's just maybe once or twice, but if you use no commas, it's really hard to understand what the person is saying. Thomas will guide you through recovery

I'm just such a good example

Starbuck · **Fri Feb 27, 2004 9:39 pm**

T, did you notice that you're in my profile on AIM?

Jadzia Lenara Dax · **Fri Feb 27, 2004 10:57 pm**

T dahling, I watched JAG tonight...CB was really awesome.

Theresa · **Fri Feb 27, 2004 11:51 pm**

She so was!

Who do you say she was saying she loved, Harm, or that weasel Webb? (the guy she said it to) I mean, she'd just told him that it was over if he tried to shut her up one more time when she needed him. DUH.

BTW, guys, spacing after punctuation counts, too,

'Cause it is afterall, punctuation,

Well, the thread is pretty much anti-John. You all know how I am on grammar and all, but the funny thing is, I'm going to become a writer with this bad weakness!

Theresa · **Sat Feb 28, 2004 12:16 am**

^Two very minor errors, but don't worry, I fixed them!

I'm beginning to love this topic. I just hate it when people make the don't use punctuation correctly. Typos I can sometimes excuse (*shrugs* y'know, everyone makes mistakes... ), but punctuation... ?! Y'all should be thankful I'm not a moderator.

I used to be a moderator once. At a Starfleet Intelligence board. I corrected every single mistake that anyone made. Well, actually, we had other members. Just me and the administrator. I had one hell of a time correcting every single error he made...

Okay, that was off-topic, wasn't it? I just wanted to type a lot and show off my punctuation skills.

Leo Wyatt · **Sat Feb 28, 2004 9:50 am**

Ok, I will try my best to write better. I am not use to writing in capital letter all the time. Guess, I will learn. It is better that way anyway. I see what you are saying.

Ronevick · **Sat Feb 28, 2004 10:53 am**

I don't have to write any better than I already do. What can I say, i'm gifted.

Yeah yeah.

Theresa · **Sat Feb 28, 2004 11:00 am**

Gifted indeed,

And there is no real topic to this topic,

You only must post w/ good punctuation,

Mistakes are allowed, we are all human,

But not consistant, glaring ones. Like I said, it makes my eyes hurt,

Oh, yeah, Ethan Phillips was on JAG last night,

Recognized the voice.

Josi Rockholt · **Sat Feb 28, 2004 12:38 pm**

I was going to watch JAG last night, but when I went to the channel, it wasn't on for some reason. Strange.
