The Confessional – Punctuation, Emoticons #andsuch

I admit it. Bring out the tar and feathers.

I am an abuser of punctuation and emoticons :) and run-on sentences aswellasrunonwords andwhathaveyou. Not just in blog posts but in email, tweets, and The Almighty Facebook status update.

And the multi-purpose use of the hashtag, made known to me by The Twitter has #rockedmycategoricalworld.

I can’t help it. I talk with my hands and golly-dog-gone it… punctuation and emoticons are my hands and cheesy grin acting out in type.
:) ;) :P

*insert cheesy grin here*

Oh. And my beloved *asterisk*

Take, for example, a picture like this:

HI!

Which is the better caption?

Hi buckaroos. — OR — HEY all ya’lls!!! WHASSSSSUP COW PEOPLE???!!!

Huh?

HUH???!!!

Clearly I have made. My. Point.

Youdontevenknow.

Keep up on the ridiculous, the insightful, the always digressive…

    I have been accused of having terrible problems with dangling modifiers, bad spelling and mind numbing lack of talent.
    Other than that, I think I might be okay.

    My mom hates me when I write like that.

    But then again, she thinks any posts without pictures of her grandkids is boring.
