I, like them, a lot, myself!

Obviously a little too much. Punctuation rape is an ugly, ugly thing.

I know how to use them, LOL! I just tend to be overzealous about a lot of things.

Unlike those tricky apostrophes. Nobody's got a clue how to use them.

You rarely see this variety of typographical abuse outside of heavy metal bands trying to place their umlauts.

*twitch*

Yeah, just TRY pronouncing Mötley Crüe the way it's written. It's bad, man. Really bad.

You should see some of the witness statements I have to try and make sense of sometimes.

But they are no match for the semi-colon; it has been proven time and time again.

However, it is only a "semi" colon; doesn't that imply the colon is, overall, the superior punctuation?

I daresay that with the best attributes of both the colon and the comma, the semi-colon is inapproachable.

An interesting point, most worthy of consideration.

I. Think; there... is: a? Space! For. All~l; kinds, of, PUNCTUATION!!!!!!!!!

You think? Well, one learns something new every day.

You. Probably, Think; So: Too? Jonathan. Everyone; Knows... How, Much: You... Loooooove, Grammar!

That's a vile lie! I never TOUCHED - oh. "Grammar." Yes.

...........Cree~epy!11!!!!1one

I tire of this. Honestly, how do teenage girls keep it up all day? It's annoying. And don't be such a twit, Jonathan, we all know you freak out the general public enough as is.

One must grow where one's planted, you know.

Don't be such a tool; you're starting to sound like Edward.

Well, that's the last thing I want. Honestly, though, what do you expect? I'm bored.

Clearly, as you're discussing commas, in-depth, with the man who'd just as soon beat you with that chair than continue talking about proper punctuation.

Wait - you mean this conversation is annoying you? Then it's useful after all. What are your feelings on em dashes?

*prepares to dodge and/or run*

Did I say anywhere in that sentence that it bothered me? I did not say anywhere in that sentence that it bothered me. I simple said beating you with a chair would be as fun as this conversation. ...Wait, no, more fun than. Scratch that thought.

Oh. Well, then, it is useless. I'll admit, beating people with household goods is quite cathartic.

Awww, Johnny! Did you just give me permission to beat you with a chair?

No. ...we could both batter Oswald, though.

Oh, he's no fun. He just squirms around and whines all, "I'll give you fifty dollars to stop! Wah, I'm fragile and chubby!"

Yes, and if you keep hitting him, he ups the money. It's rather like a pinata.

...I wish I had thought of that. I should forever refer to the old chap as a pinata.
