    But and and at the beginning of sentences are matters of style, general rules to be broken for effect:) But do'nt get me start'd on people who use also at the end of a sentence[​IMG]

    but sometimes using but at the beginning of the sentence sounds right.

    I tend to do that. Sometimes, a full stop and a smiley can work. Other times it just looks odd.

    Don't forget, Ulrich Haarbürste used such stylisations in his epic tales of Roy Orbison in clingfilm.

    That reminds me, he brought a book out! :D

    How can you wear a joke interpreter?


    Lithium, if it gets on your nerves when people don't use periods at the end of sentences, I bet you love my ... I tend to always use. :)


    The other day I found this quote, which this entire thread so aptly reminds me of and thus, I must share it, as there probably aren't many places I can use this quote and have it apply to the conversation. :D

    I was also reminded of that! I think "also" is used in German as a general exclamation like "aha!", with the emphasis on the so, thus: also! Also, also is ok if you say it with a German accent, also!

    Not sure if its been mentioned, but "board" is another one that annoy's me

    As in "I have nothing to do; I'm board". Hm. Chipboard or MDF?

    Oh and lot's of exclamation mark's!!!!!!!!!!! One is quite exclamatory enough...

    American spelling doesn't annoy me when used by Americans but when it's employed by Brits I find it a little grating - they should know better. Not quite sure where phoenix_indigo stands being a yank living in Blighty so I'm puzzled as to whether I should be annoyed about her "jewelry" (jewellery) thread or not:tongue:
