There's something rather splendidly ironic about the idea of an irony mark. Isn't the whole point of irony that it's something of an in-joke at the expense of the uninitiated who don't "get it"?

This is not a criticism merely a question to try and satisfy my curiosity.:)
I have noticed a number of posters to this forum always leave a space between the end of a sentence and either the question mark or the exclamation point. These same poster don't leave a space for the comma or the period (full stop). Can anyone explain why? :confused: What bugs me most on here is when folk don't use paragraphs; it makes it impossible to read what they're saying. |

Re: Question re the ? and the !
I like exclamation marks!!
Don't think I'm too guilty of anything else.:wub: |
Re: Question re the ? and the !
There's a school principal I know that regularly uses 4 to 5 exclamation marks in their communications. It just makes them look like a twat.

People who misuse the @ symbol really get on my go@.
Edit: Is it "get on my goat" or just "get my goat"? No idea. I'll get me co@. |
Re: Question re the ? and the !
I get frustrated by those who constantly spell the same words incorrectly, and I'm not referring to mixing the English and US spelling up. These are the same people who get annoyed when one tries to point out the correct way to do it.
If one is not sure of the spelling, use the damn spell checker before posting. Then there's less need to edit afterwards. |
