Completely random question about comments on LO's

[amystoffel]

I always use exclamation points...do you too?

IDK what made me think of that just now.

[digideb]

I use exclamation points with everything! lol Not just my gallery comments! lol :)

[iJenny]

My name is Jenny and I am an exclamation-mark-a-holic. I over-use them all the time in typed conversation. lol

[OrianaVianey]

Well not always but the exclmation points are proportional on how much I love the layout... plus I go totall hig school-ish when praising, like OMG, AWWW , cuuuute... and stuff like that... can't help it. I blame to my lack of vocabulary in English... but I'm sure I'd say the same in Spanish... LOL

[melmos75]

I'm an explanation mark whore!! <-----See!! <---Doh, I did it again!!

Wasn't there a Seinfeld episode about using too many explanation marks? (Wow - I wrote a sentence without one!! <----oops, did it again!

[lizzyfizzy]

yes. it's a problem. this entire reply was done very carefully without any.

You will never be the same in my eyes again Melissa.

[Jennifer]

All!!!! The!!!! Time!!!! They are my very favorite punctuation!!!! I love them!!!!

:D

[melmos75]

You will never be the same in my eyes again Melissa.

Admit it, it turns you on.;)

[amystoffel]

You caught me.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ColleenSwerb]

Yup, I totally use them all the time in the gallery.

[Kat Stokes]

Hi, my name is Kat. I am addicted to exclamation points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MelissaL88]

DUDE!!!!! Is there any other punctuation!?! --> See, I can even find a use for them in a question, by turning it into a declarative sentence! LOL!!!!!!!!

Is there a twelve step program or something - called Exclamation Point Abusers Anonymous!

[lovely1m]

lol...I do, too, a lot when I am commenting.

[emilyscout]

My name Emily and I abuse punctuation!!!!!!

[Chels85]

Yes! It's a habit!

[junebug]

i do too. but, comments don't seem quite the same with just a period. for example, would you rather see:

"This is really great. I love it. into my favorites it goes."
or
"This is really great!!!! I love it!! into my favorites it goes!"


see? they make all the difference!! :D

[pbumbaca]

Ditto to what everyone else said!!!

[Jennilyn]

I always use exclamation points, period! Well no, no period, just exclamation points!! :D It seems insincere when there's no !!

[AnnieBananie]

I'm an exclamation point whore too... I also rock the dot-dot-dot

[Stacey42]

I always use them when I leave gallery comments

Othewise I think it looks like it might be sarcasm. i don't really notice it on comments left for me, just comments left by me.

"Lovely layout." (yeah, right)
"Lovely layout!!" (you really like it!)

[SirScrapalot]

yes. it's a problem. this entire reply was done very carefully without any.

It doesn't even feel like Lizzy without some exclamation points!!

And I too...I am a frequent user of the dot dot dot...otherwise known as the elipse!!

[cheltzey]

I definitely abuse exclamation marks. I'm also a fan of the double hyphen. It's extremely useful when you don't want to use a parenthesis.

[scrapperjade]

I must sound like I'm on a sugar high ALL THE TIME, cause exclamation marks are pretty much the only punctuation marks I use... either that or (...). I use that entirely too much too!!

[wildblueeyez]

I'm an exclamation point abuser....and also the notorious... see...? I also tend to CAPITALIZE what I feel are KEY words when I type something!!!

[Jennifer]

ohhhhhhh!!! i love ... and ALL CAPS. :D

[Stacey42]

I use *asterisks* when I say something "significant". :)

[suze]

I use them all the time! sometimes I think I over do it... but I'm not alone! :thumbup:

[Angie4b1g]

Ya cuz I feel like without the exclamation point I'm really just saying "eh it's ok". LOL

[rach3975]

Is it possible to leave a gallery comment without one? I don't think I've ever managed it! But if I'm leaving a multi-sentence comment I make sure not to use one on every sentence.

I'm also a...abuser, but that's in the forums more than the gallery.

[Rae's World]

Absolutely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[my4boys]

I thought I was the only one who did that Amy.....crazy huh? I do this a lot too: ...........

[shawnyrvr]

the !!!!!!!!!'s and the ........'s are both my little addictions.... just can't help myself!!!!!!

[EveRecinella]

I use exclamation points with everything! lol Not just my gallery comments! lol :)

LOL me to!!

[MelissaL88]

I'm a horrible...elipse...user LOL!!!!! I also abuse the double-dash -- cuz I really hate using parens.

[scrappurple]

!!!!!Yes!!!!!! :D

[kscwgirl]

I over use the ellipse. Like, way overuse it. :D

[switchwiz]

It's like there is no such thing as a . anymore, it's so sad just sitting there all by itself! I just automatically added that ! at the end of my sentence.....OMGosh I just did the ..... too. I do it and I don't even realize I do it! there see, I did it again.....:D Wonder how I don't do this at work??? <-- look, I can't even do one little question mark, had to be 3!!!

[Megan Turnidge]

Ummmm.... YEAH! Gallery comments seem insincere if I don't use those bad boys! :p I worry I'd sound like Ben Stein if I just used periods. :D

[amystoffel]

I'm an exclamation point whore too... I also rock the dot-dot-dot

oh yeah....I'm a dot-dot-dot whore....
