punctuation
5 Oct 2002 03:29 pmone '.' is a period. it indicates the end of a sentence.
three '.'s are called an ellipsis and they indicate the trailing off of an idea, as opposed to the finality of a period.
THERE IS NO TWO. two of this '.', two little dots, DON'T MEAN ANYTHING.
people who can't punctuate should DIE.

Y'know, thinking about it, there should be a punctuation driving test... we could tattoo people who fail, perhaps. 'Will Not Be Permitted Internet Access Without Punctuated Supervision'.

cut straight to the chase, i say.
tattooed individual: ::sniffling:: it just... it makes me feel so... worthless.
therapist: ::nodding:: i see. and you feel that this is wrong? you think that you aren't worthless, even though you don't know how to punctuate?
