I think I have a book somewhere with chapters with punctuation... I'll go hunt it out.
*Runs upstairs*
Yup. It's called "The Sex Lives of Cannibals" and all its chapters have full stops at the end of them. However, they need them.
*Pulls sample chapter title out of book*
| Quote: |
Chapter 15
In which the Author describes the Behavior of Government Officials (drunken thuggery), the Peculiar System of Governance (Coconut Stalinism), the Quality of Government Services (Stalin, at least, got something done), followed by a recounting of the Interministerial Song Dance Competition, when for nearly Two Months all government activities Ceased, not that anyone noticed, followed by the Shocking Conclusion to the competition, when the Ministry of Housing won with a dance that Shamelessly incorporated Polynesian influences, leaving the other Competitors to stew in their Bitter Bile. |
Yes, that's really the chapter title. In case anyone was wondering, the title of the book does not describe it- I've yet to come across anything that explains the sex lives of cannibals. I have instead read about how J. Maarten Troost (the author) survived living inTarawa.

See the thing is if you try to analyze sentences with no spaces and read them slowly its very difficult However if you just run your eyes over it really quickly u can read it no problem haha and notice this post has no punctuation and I DON'T CARE MWAHAHAHA 
Besides insnt this whole topic a bit spammy and people are posting off topic things  haha but I guess it doesn't matter since an admin started it meeep

Huh, it looked like everyone's post has mentioned punctuation in some way, shape or form.....
Not to mention, they, for the most part, are all using punctuation, so that keeps it on track, too.

What is "shaka"? Notice my use of punctuation
See, what I don't get is paragraphs. When I was a kid I totally did not understand the concept. I would ask what a paragraph was and they'd tell me and I'd be like "Whaa??"

I use paragraphs when changing direction. Like when writing a letter, the first paragraph is for all of that "how have you been" junk. The second is for "how I've been", etc...

Punctuation is my friend! I like to take it out for walks, and feed it, and love it...but uh, that's a different story.

Awesome. I confused people. Random hidden track from my NFG CD. Quite humorous.
