    is @ no longer cool then? I remember when the first cybercafe (as they pretentiously used to be known) opened in London. and then the @ symbol was everywhere

    I think georgey boy would choose these <\/^+ because it is leetspeak for "****"

    ... the elipse is my fave...use it all the time to break up run-on thoughts...


    found this on writing.com :

    "The elipse is possibly the single most overused punctuation mark by amateur (and many professional!) writers. The elipse is represented by three periods (or "pips") in a row ("..."). It is NEVER less than three or more than three. It is ALWAYS three.

    An elipse is used to indicate an incomplete thought, and takes the place of a period. It should NEVER be used to represent a pause! If you wish to indicate a pause, a comma, semi-colon, or colon should be used instead. Generally, gramatically complete sentences should not end in an elipse. Only sentence fragments (those sentences which do not possess a subject, verb, and object) should end in an elipse. "



    'Course I like the incredulous question mark too. It looks like this: ?!?!?!?

    Maybe he idolizes you, Ronald. Take him on as an apprentice. He shows potential.
