while we are on the subject.

since adriane shared a pet peeve, i am going to share my newest peeve. the reality of this peeve is that it only rears its ugly head on facebook. and there are only a select number of instances throughout any given day, but it makes my skin crawl and blood boil. and i want to mock every instance of this said peeve, but i have to remember to be kind. and it's my own fault because there are ways to avoid having to see all occurrences.

so, without further ado, here is my latest pet peeve:

it goes something like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...............does it make sense?????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..............................i wonder how long i can make myself do this.............................it is driving me nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!............i want to punch myself in the face for doing it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..............seriously!!!!!!!!!!!!................know what i mean???????????????????????????

omigosh. yak. eek. gross. it is so ugly.

i use ellipses...often. they are to only consist of three...count them...THREE dots. not seventeen. and maybe i use them inappropriately, but i think that since i limit myself to the official three dots, i can use an ellipse whenever i want without being annoying...like this.

and further, your exclamation of mundane comments is completely unnecessary. and ridiculous.

and in reality, more than one question mark does not make the question more valid or more serious.

in closing, lay off the punctuation. please. or i'll "hide" you from my fb feed.

never mind, i already hid you.

but really, stop.

ellipses are my favorite...but I agree that an ellipses consists of 3 dots...and every once in awhile an accidental 4th sneaks in....

i am also a frequent ellipses user. and i think that you and i use them in a similar manner. it's funny that we started this blog so many years ago, before the facebook mania and the "text talk" mania. because now, in this wonderful digital age of twitter and such, we have SO much more more to write about!

thank you, technology, for making so many of us so stupid.
