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.

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!!

[pbumbaca]

Ditto to what everyone else said!!!

[Jennilyn]

I always use exclamation points, period! Well no, no period, just exclamation points!! 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!)

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.

[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!

[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!!!!!!

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!!!!!!

[kscwgirl]

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

[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..... 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! I worry I'd sound like Ben Stein if I just used periods.
