yes....but what drives me more bonkers is when they have used their phone emojis and all i see is a ?? or a ????!

It's not shallow btw, it's knowing how much more irritating it could become so I would say its damage limitation

I would tend to disagree with your statement, I have never been good at grammar but being a highly respected professional engineer in R&D and being on the engineering council register would indicate that my intellectual status is higher than most.

I tend to use double question marks sometimes when I’m asking a sarcastic question or double (or more) exclamation marks when answering sarcastically but I don’t know where it’s come from. Just something that started happening and I don’t know why. A bit like shoertening the word though to tho. Bad habits that I need beating (pleasurably) to remove

It's almost as bad as a sentence, note sentence, not question, that finishes with a question mark?

Yes. Along with the guys who have a one paragraph profile with no full stops and the ones who put 'lol' at the end of every bloody sentence. Not funny !

Well on the plus side, he may be better orally than with a pen and paper. I don’t think poor punctuation is necessarily equated with substandard intelligence. Even writers have editors and proof readers after all.

If he speaks with exclamation marks, then you're in trouble.

It would irritate me, but if his style is good ( despite the !!! ) and he's hotter than a hot thing from Hotsville, then perhaps let it slide?

I disagree, English is a very difficult language with alot of rules and some exceptions that you are just meant to remember.

I personally don't think it a sign of unintelligence.

Though I don't reply to messages in text speak as that just shows poor effort.

Txt so often lacks all the non verbal signals that make up such an important part of communication.

If other choose to use emoji or punctuation to try and add some expression to txt where is the problem.

If it annoys that much it's simple, tell them, ignore them, or meet them and see if it's just another attempt to find a way to bring some additional expression to the limitations of txt as a means of communication.

Helpful OP????

Personally I am a fan of repeated punctuation in short messages, it is the original emoji, and I find myself regretting the punctuation options removed by concatenation at the start of the printing industry.

¿Why do we no longer mark a question in full?

"Handsome bloke just messaged me!

He uses exclamation marks after every sentence! Sometimes more that one!!!

Sometimes they are not even full sentences! Now I just can’t bring myself to reply!!! He will answer and do more!

Then I will hate myself even more for finding it so irritating!!!

Does it drive you bonkers?

I'm not worried that you don't like my punctuation!!!!!!

You called me handsome!!!!!!!

That's a win!!!!!!

The right place

Ha!

This thread made me laugh.

Although I do use the exclamation mark more on here than I would do in real life. It’s a bit like an extra emoji.

But like many things in life, sometimes less is more.

Maybe he's trying to show his enthusiasm in the only way he can think of on here!

I think I used to be guilty of the mass use of exclamation marks at times

If he speaks with exclamation marks, then you're in trouble.

It would irritate me, but if his style is good ( despite the !!! ) and he's hotter than a hot thing from Hotsville, then perhaps let it slide?"

English is a difficult language.

We have two identical words... which sound different , and mean different things

For instance

See and sea

Here and hear

No and know

So confusing for so many people .

"Bad punctuation spells no intelligence.

Wow what a sweeping statement

There's only 10 types of people, when it comes to understanding binary code. Those that do and those that don't.

I worked out your code

It's two words that are in cryptic crossword fashion

1. Goes into cork, with some bottle (5)

2. The Queen won't say this word to one(3)

167 145 154 154 40 144 157 156 145 40 156 157 167 40 164 162 171 40 164 150 151 163 40"

1. Ding dong bell, Kitty's in the (4)

2. Longer than medium rare (4)

3. This instance! (3)

4. Rugby players get this (3)

5. That's him I said (4)

Yesh, that is almost as bad as locked CAPS. Im not really a big fan of text speech, leaves a lot to be misinterpreted ,especially when some people dont know or don't use basic fundimentals

Yea, this.

I don’t find this as annoying as the misplaced apostrophe before an s just because there happens to be an s after a word or a plural of a word,

It’s gotten so bad I even see printed letters on vending machines with a misplaced apostrophe. And this is the country that invented the language!
