No, here's a rant I penned a couple months ago.

The Green Font Police.

Since when do we have to declare our intentions whether true or foul. If you offend then you are a clod & need to study the fine art of sublte. A true barb leaves much doubt about intentions & doesn't become apparent unless mulled over. Double meanings work well & afford deniable plausibility. Perhaps people rely too much on poor body laugage & don't realize the best delivery is deadpan. The next time you're offended by some oaf in a forum, consider the source & move on. True wit should hold some mystery & not be murdered by green font.

Don't quote me on this, but no.

I thought this was about "QUESTION MARKS"

futuresoptions 07-19-2012 08:05 PM
Shouldn't anything we type on here be in quotes? I mean since we are actually communicating in our written voice in present tense? They would all be considered quotes in past tense right?

slodave 07-19-2012 08:06 PM
No, but we are running out of "."'s.

futuresoptions 07-19-2012 08:21 PM
Just a bad habit... I talk slow... so I emulate my lyrical prowess in the written form...

Ya know how sentences are supposed to have a period and then a double-space before beginning a new sentence? . . It bugs me that we don't have the technology to easily type a double-space to give sentences the proper seperation. ...so I like your bad habit. ...of emulating your slow lyrical prowess in the written form.

IOW, just give me some space. :cool:

Flieger 07-19-2012 08:49 PM
I never do the double space thing. I don't remember ever being taught it until just recently.
