Parrhesia Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) i mean it's like I'm all about the stream of consciousness idk man it just happened I figure it will probably cease to be a thing in my posting at some point - like my sudden obsessive overuse of hyphens in sentences like this one, it's probably no more than a fad. What are typing quirks you've picked up and then dropped off, lads Edited May 12, 2014 by Parrhesia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehab Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Double-posting does not end, it only begins Punctuation is for nerds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refa Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Semi-Colons, I've been using them all of the time; I just realized my post in the QOTD had like two semi-colons concurrently with no other punctuation in between. Had to fix that because it was bugging the hell out of me when I realized it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I also tend to use semi-colons fairly frequently; I feel they make my words flow better than a full stop would in that place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamanoir Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Posting far too long posts, because I was convinced they weren't worthwhile else. I'm really bad at saying things concively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Refa Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I used to have that problem, but brevity is the soul of wit...OK, actually I just got really fucking lazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wist Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I'm the same as shytende. Concision and I... we do not do well together. And I can completely understand double posting to add onto previous thoughts or simply by accident. I've done it a few times; sometimes I report myself to ask for it to be fixed, sometimes I leave it and hope no-one notices.... And sometimes I feel like double posting should be allowed, but I suppose that would make deciding what constitutes excessive multiple posting too subjective.

Tamanoir Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I often (read : all the time) accidentally double post when I want to add another quote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgeDusk Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 When I was younger I used to use brackets in my writing a lot, and, while I still use them, I think my usage of them has cut down a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freohr Datia Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) Well as long as you aren't triple(+) posting I suppose =D Strikethrough~! Small font~! Strikethrough small font~! ~! Lately I've been using parentheses a lot! I'm trying to pay more attention to that so I don't use it too much ^o^ ... Wait, "dropped"?

Esme Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I use CAPS to EMPHASIZE certain WORDS in my SENTENCE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euklyd Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Hyphens and semi-colons are great. I don't use hyphens nearly as much as I used to, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryz Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Oh. I was totally expecting this topic to open with a double post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Yeah when I actually bother to punctuate I use semicolons Normally I don't bother to punctuate much except for 'postrophes and shit though I punctuate when I'm going for a more serious tone and also my level of swearing drastically decreases even if I'm increasing in annoyance level I have no clue why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Alear Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) I used to use dashes to form run-on sentences, frequently. Actually, I still do tend to use long sentences in formal writing. Also I don't often double-post but I edit a lot of my posts (actually, my editing rate may be down because I think I write fewer long posts than I used to...).

Makaze Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Used to not use contractions at all. Figured that sounded weird and switched it up a couple of years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
