I am sure nothing compares to the complete overuse of the punctuation mark.

I find this to be mostly true on forums like Facebook.

It just annoys the HELL out of me !!!!!! oh wait...

My grammar is sparkly.

It's going to be like that is it? I refuse to believe you use dots in speech in real time. What you do is pause, which is not the intended use of ellipses. My goat will not be gotten, lady!

It IS going to be like that, Mister.
THANK You for seeing things my way! That made me happy!

And I HAVE been known ~ on occasion ~ to actually SAY "Dot, dot, dot" (I might even do the little chubby quote fingers, TOO! What do You say to THAT, Peter Puncto?)

Your goat.
Mine..................all MINE!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mr bent... i have decided... thru careful introspection... that like everything in my life... i have perverted said ......... to suit my own basic needs... from this point on... as ms jordan... my fav english teacher... is my witness... i will never say ellipsis again... long live the dots!

as for shatting.... itsa lotta work and a pain in the arse...

and
on a real note...

several thangs contribute to the perversion that is my speech here... laziness... convenience... and... i tell myself efficiency adds to it... thats prolly bullshit tho... being from the south and typing it like i say it is another reason...
learning shorthand all those years ago contributed to my fonetik problems...
other than that---------
i was always a fan of ee cummings... and... hated faulkner who wrote the longest sentences in the history of the world it seemed to me and i have a tendency to do what punctuation tells me to do something i wish i didnt do but i again give nods to ms jordan who was a hella woman...

Unfortunately, I wayyyyy over-use punctuation on here. For me, I use commas and ..... to emphasize, so to speak. If anyone has heard me actually talk and heard this thick Southern accent that I have, you'll know that I tend to speak with a lot of pauses and emphasis on things (and a lot of drawl on my words). When writing, I tend to use commas especially, to show the emphasis. Basically, I write how I talk. (And I say talk instead of speak, cause, well...lol) Unfortunately, I guess when reading from someone else's perspective, I probably look like a comma crazed maniac, or at very least, a serial punctuation-ist.
