There are "Internet linguists"? WHAT?

Then you have the other end where people add a full stop and then add "that is all."
Effectively ending their sentence with "that is all that is all that is all". Muppets.
 
Who was the ex OcUKer who invented his own punctuation system using various shaped brackets enclosed within other brackets?

Now there was a system of "breaking up your thoughts" that should've caught on :eek: :p

Many people use a full stop after a single sentence in messages to denote some sort of additional tone.

I've never heard such utter ****. many who, when was this discussed and became the norm? people thinking they can now change the rules of grammar as well as changing the meanings of words so that they can appear cool and individual on the internet need their fingers and eyes removed.

Then I'd suggest you're just oblivious to it, as opposed to it not occuring.

Thank you Diddums, I can't believe I just read that first post again :eek: and unsurprisingly I still don't get it :D, I think it should be renamed the "Angus-Higgins bona fide fruit loop system" as named after himself.



The fact he used to normally post using it as well caused my eyes to hurt.

I got it. Made sense. It was like parsing code where you gleaned what only you needed.

I've always struggled with English though, I can do numbers but words hurt! So maybe this system is geared more towards retards like me.
:D
 
I had to look at my WhatsApp to check and no, I very rarely use a full stop at the end of a message. I can see why someone might get upset if I suddenly did, and why I'd not have anyone that crazy in my life to begin with
 
I use full stops to break up sentences, but would rarely add one to if my message consisted of just a single sentence. Never really understood why if people have more than just a single brief point to make why they would send each one as a separate message rather than just breaking it up with punctuation. I know someone that will even split up single sentences over multiple messages.
