What type are you, and why? / ???????????

Being a simplistic sort, for me something is either a question, or it isn't. Or something is an exclamation or is not.

I like to think of the forum a bit like chatting in a pub/cafe and the written form there to substitute for speaking.

So for those who like to go for multiple question marks or exclamation marks is it intended to convey something in particular?

Or just some jam spilled onto the keyboard

Okay not really important - slow evening.

Does seem to be very prevalent on 'social media', not forgetting the good old ?!?!

I like an exclamation !! Not sure why, but they always look a bit lonely by themselves. It's nice to give them a friend !!

 

[BubbaP]

Fair enough - it's a reason

Life's too short. As long as the point comes across I'm happy. Any formal writing of course is a whole different ball game

Various forms of punctuation work and there's punctuation for every occasion ..!..

At the risk of sounding rude, what the eff are you waffling about ?
