Reflections on Odd Punctuation

I’m not sure why, but it always weirds me out when someone using punctuation a space or several spaces after the end of a sentence. Especially excessive punctuation.

Example: “Congrats !!!!” or “Hello ????”

Does anyone else notice that, too, or is it just me?

    I am guilty 🙂

    Yes I do notice that only because I do practice that once in a while. I myself can’t seem to put reason to it but I guess I am just trying to wear out my keyboard.

    It’s just you.

    HEE!!!!!

    I am extremely perfunctory with my grammar and etc, but when writing prose, I think !!!! and ???? is expressive. It leaves no doubt as to what the writer is getting across. Kind of like punctuation emoticons. You know what I mean? You know what I mean?????

    lol!

    I do it sometimes. Other times I’m thinking leave me alone with your over expressive punctuation. Hmm, I probably can’t have it both ways. Oh well. I love the name of your blog.

    I have this quirk where ending punctation must be odd numbers. For example, one exclamation mark is fine. Two is wrong. Three is the next okay one. Four is right out. See where this is going??? Same thing for question marks.

    Well, honestly, i don’t notice such a punctuations. As far as me, i have caught myself sometimes to do such mistakes when i type in hurry, so for some it is just a mistake probably.
    But obviously for some it is normal. The thing that drives me crazy is when i don’t see space after punctuations like: “,this.Or this.”

    Howdy

    I’m a teenage guy totally from the south of spain, I decided to go over my own self.

    As every one of citizens straight from spain, I have got sizzling hot temper however , have always been gentle with people.
    I think I will take considerable time on that online community, and also win new good friends.

    I quite like tapas and also spanish meal, so fantastic, plus the specialty from here, churros ! Individuals are about churros ! It is important to check out at some point in case you never did.

    Cya
