The Christmas in September

FramlingFramling FaceHeadGeebs has bad ideas.Registered User regular
edited September 2007 in Social Entropy++
It's my favorite day of the year!

National Punctuation Day!

So today, go the extra mile. Use a dash instead of just two hyphens. Use some semicolons to seperate list elements that contain commas. Break out some square brackets for nested parenthetical comments.

What's your favorite punctuation?

you're = you are
your = belonging to you

their = belonging to them
there = not here
they're = they are

    I never knew that was an official use of square brackets.

    Although I guess if you write something that needs nested parenthesis to begin with then you probably suck at writing.

    I enjoy using the dash to denote an abrupt change in thought or of subject.

    hah!

    also, i have a sordid affair with the comma. we could splice all night.

    (actually i don't use comma splices that often, they seem to cause me physical pain when i proofread friend's papers.)

    You would think that with a math degree I would have at least thought about the use of nested parentheses in a mathematical context, but no.
