I think someone would notice in about three weeks time

#24

I think I could stop using every letter and form of punctuation and nobody would clock it

#25

Everybody here at community.drownedinsound.com would notice, friend.

You’d have to give up as soon as something bad happened to anyone you knew though. I can’t imagine “Sorry for your loss!” would go down well.

In a world of hyphens the colon is redundant.

Woah!

#35

rarely use full stops as it is, always prefer a comma, don’t really get the point of paragraphs either

Feel free to use this in your tinder/bumble bio.

Sneaky!

Getting through a conversation with every sentence ending in a question could lead to a potentially never ending talk though.

Or like on Neighbours? Where every sentence goes up at the end? Like a question?

#39

I dunno about you but I’m not sure how I could last doing that though? Because it’s, like, so annoying? And impossible not to read in that voice? So if my friends didn’t kick my face in after a few minutes I’d probably have to do it myself?

Ampersand, there’s never a reason to use it

Paragraphs give the reader time to take a breath, text in one long stream of consciousness can be exhausting to read.

I used to work with someone who wrote paragraph-length sentences with endless sub-clauses, commas and parentheses. I genuinely lost the will to live midway through sentences because each one felt like it would never end.

Punctuation is your friend!
