Since people got tired of ridiculous and unnecessary multiple punctuation marks.
Shit, one space between sentences, and now they're overlapping punctuation?
What kind of lazy fucks are behind this?
There is a difference between laziness and efficiency.
This post is much better when read with a terrible German accent.
I don't see ‽ on my keyboard.
Saying it's efficient just doesn't parse when we're talking about a single space at the end of your sentence or an extra punctuation, both of which are a single extra keystroke. If you're anal retentive enough to be miffed when your thumb or little finger has to stretch an extra inch or two, maybe you should take a deep breath and relax.

When I format or edit newsletters I always keep it one space between sentences because that is what you do with Block text editing for print. When I am typing a paper or an email; always two spaces.
wow you like defy history here
since two spaces was used expressly for newspapers and typesetting and all that
and was done away with (or so we thought) once the typewriter came along
AND MADE IT A BARBARIC, ARCHAIC PRACTICE
Typesetting and formatting block text are two very different things.

I'm not talking about the effort it takes to type, I'm talking about the sheer amount of text that you can fit into a given space. Extra spaces and punctuation marks are just a entirely unnecessary.
Plus, I just really think multiple punctuation marks look stupid.

Well, I don't really work in a format that limits the amount of space I'm allowed to use.
I see your point.
but "What the fuck!?" looks better than "What the fuck‽"

Guys. We're gonna run out of space on the internet. We need to conserve.
Really one shouldn't be writing sentences which need to be ended with an interrobang. A sentence cannot be both an exclamatory statement and a question. An interrobang essentially denotes "I just asked you a question, but I did it loudly." It's like ending your sentence by saying "Disbelief!" You sound like a damn Elcor.
Also I cannot believe we're talking about coding in an interrobang instead of shift + 1 / and calling it "efficiency."
Unless you're arguing it should be included on keyboards, which is crazy.

I'd argue that that's only because we're more used to "What the fuck!?".
Also, to somewhat explain my hatred of extra punctuation marks - I work as a letterer for a company that produces some of the worst comics I have ever seen.
Four exclamation points is too many even when you don't have to fit the text into a small bubble.

i meant your comment about how motive is everything. laziness and effeciency aren't different because their motivation is different, they're different because they are different concepts and the end result is different

oh my god
laziness: unwillingness to work, be active
efficiency: adeptness, effectiveness
the only way they are related is if you put them together in a venn diagram where the set is defined as "attitudes/approaches to work or a lack thereof"
which is just vague enough to be completely meaningless in my humble opinion

E-F-F-I-I-C-I-E-N-C-Y
if I put my keys in a bowl because I hate looking for my keys that's laziness
if I put my keys in a bowl because I want to grab them as I speed out the door that's efficiency

this is one of my biggest pet peeves
he most certainly does not
efficiency is maximum output with minimum effort
laziness is lack of effort with no regard for output
You really shouldn't take such things for granite.
laziness is the unwillingness to do something
effeciency is the ability to find a way to do something using less effort
definitely a difference. also, see quoth's post for a more upscale version of this
irregardless this is an irritating error

but both strive to reduce the amount of effort exerted to zero
so they are at the least related. like brothers or something
Typesetting and formatting block text are two very different things.
blog facebook steam twitter
and the other works for a successful law firm
no they aren't...?
one is positive and the other is negative
one is beneficial and the other is counterproductive
they are not even really two sides of a coin
Oh, is it not apropos? I didn't know it would effect you so.
laziness is to run from work out of an unwillingness to exert energy
efficiency is the desire to minimize waste so that more work may be done
I'm not talking about the effort it takes to type, I'm talking about the sheer amount of text that you can fit into a given space. Extra spaces and punctuation marks are just a entirely unnecessary.

Which, when it comes to the time it takes for a single entra keystroke, sort of blend together and look the same.
What are you, some kind of robot?
Get the fuck out.
I wasn't talking about in this context
in this context only the person doing the typing can know whether it's lazy or efficient
Well, I don't really work in a format that limits the amount of space I'm allowed to use.
I see your point.
but "What the fuck!?" looks better than "What the fuck‽"
they both are a work ethic dealing with the amount of work done.
one is negative, one is positive. both are supposed "solutions" to the problem of how work gets done. how are they not related
motive, motive, motive is everything

laziness is not a solution or a work ethic
exactly, they are the same approach with a different motive
I agree that they are not the same thing by any stretch, but to say the two are not related is silly
I put quotations around it for that exact purpose
but it's definitely a work ethic. it is a person's attitude regarding work
laziness is the desire to not do work. effeciency is the desire to do work better.
how the fuck am I wrong then that's exactly what I just said
That sounds like a personal problem.

the only way they are related is if you put them together in a venn diagram where the set is defined as "attitudes/approaches to work or a lack thereof"

exactly it is that person's attitude towards doing work
augh fuck it this is dumb and I was dragged into it
I'm going to draw pictures of you all and they won't be flattering!

good show
thanks!
