Since 10 punctuations have posted here now, is testosterone-enhanced punctuation allowed? ~~~^^^~~~ [ 11 October 2005: Message edited by: Tape_342 ]

Indeed, who needs words, when you have punctuation to convey meaning!Punctuation (and/or accentuation), in...well...in excess, can - how to put it? - get a bit (okay, a lot) unwieldy: it can obliterate content; make text (i.e., narrative, journalistic, etc.) near undreadable, with its (e.g., grammatical, syntactic) contortions/redirections, etc. Punctuation, too soon (already?), I fear, if we let it, standing by, (inaction, too, being, indeed, equally, a sin), could (or, indeed, may have, long since) destroy (destroyed?), such as they are, the systems, which, hitherto, we have conceived, and still employ, for composing coherent text. (What can I say, I felt the topic was a nice opportunity to pursue that fine old hobby: intentionally bad writing)
