I, wrote this new-story........... I hope you guys all enjoy it!!!!!! Please don't flame me..... I'm new at this..... okay??? It's about this girl that was born part-demon..... I know.... I'm creepy..... Lol!!!!!!!!!!!!
And todays topic, based off what I have just shown you, is this:
ARE YOU SELLING YOUR PUNCTUATION ON EBAY?
Okay, onto our first case. Subject One is a Misguided punctuation abuser. She understand the basics of periods, but uses them incorrectly. Her problem is easily solvable with the proper training, however. Once she discovers the other marks (commas, question marks, ect.) then she will be redeemable.
Next slide, please.
Subjects Two and Three are the two extremes. First is the Unknown punctuation abuser. He doesn't appear to know that these marks exist. It is a frightening experience to come across the Unknown user, as most WFers tend to think that punctuation has been put on ration. Luckily his problem is overcome with some simple instruction.
On the other extreme, however, is the Overuser. This person is the bane of every WFer, as they usually tend to be flamers/trolls as well. They is extremely hard to retrain, because the abuse of ellipses usually indicates long-term overuse. However, with the right type of rehab, the overuser can be saved.
Last slide, please. Thank you.
Please, for the sake of all to-be writers out there, do not let this consume the WF. if you see any of these subjects, attempt to restrain them until help arrives.
And remember to write using punctuation, because when you don't, you write with Hilter.
Any questions? Comments?
