Can you tell who it is by their posting style?

I can usually tell with the regulars like Fox, Mohinder, Penski and Gilly usually get away with short cynical posts that show they've got a wry whit. Then you can usually tell the absolute balls that blighter, monkeypants, moses99p and a few others come out with. :p

I have just finished the work which I needed to do today (and hence, as I am, and was at the time, on the computer, I thought it to be a good idea, as always, to check the usual websites, which includes this website, "Overclockers UK").

It seemed to me to be evident that the time indicates a relatively atypical "lurking time", considering that I do have more work tomorrow.

That was so wrong written like that but besides that I was just having a laugh. Considering I don't know your habits I wouldn't know when your lurking time are. Lighten up a little :)
 
Yeah, I look out for familiar sigs. I can tell some people by their posting style, but not too many.

I'd hate to be the one marking your coursework :D

The issue which the marker might have is the general verbosity, however, I did concede, on the suggestion of my teacher, that I add in some emboldened text and more "images" such that the eye is drawn to the marks (so to speak). I do believe that if the marker was doing their job in the correct manner that it would make a negligible difference (I bow to the superior knowledge of my teacher upon this matter however).

OcUk is the only place he adheres to his bracket system. Or, one of the few.

There was a thread a few months back on it. ;)

(Not that my intention is to "derail" this thread, but this inaccuracy must be dealt with).

The quoted post bemuses me rather a lot. It is somewhat factually incorrect, and rather pointless considering that it expresses two views which are converse (in the context of the possible "places" where the aforementioned system could be used).

The "bracket system", or "bracketing system" (as named by myself) is used in the coursework (I do however attempt to refrain from using it on this website "Overclockers UK" as I have been warned not to).

Why not? I feel it will give the general use base an easier reading experience, when they partake on the mission to decrypt my posts, moreover, it allows me to type, quickly, and effectively.


(Yes, I struggled to actually squeeze as many as possible in there)

The marker won't bother with things they can't read, believe me. Make it as easy for them as you can as they have thousands to mark and won't waste time. Try and give the certain punctuations a miss and write as if you're speaking, or reading a book. Most books/people don't read/speak the way you type. I'm not saying you are wrong in the way you type just that for an exam you could lose out.

I thank you for the advice (the teacher says that the text is fluent, and apparently well written), it is just that he did not wish it to be an essay, and hence the italicisation, and other tricks to catch the attention of a moderator should be used (these have been implemented to a sufficient degree now).
