Punk-tuation...


I have a little problem…

It has something to do with my compulsion to end (or not actually end) many of my sentences with three periods in a row…

Like this

I like to think of it as my ‘signature style’

I’m sure all of you English teachers out there have a better name for it…
Like wrong...
Or maybe dumb

You’ll find that I won’t disagree with you about the wrong part…
But I do remember way back in the day, my creative writing teacher always said to express yourself in your own unique way…

Guess what?
I do
I’m a rebel... with a flaw(s) (I couldn’t resist!)

Sometimes, I even use two completely different punctuation marks at the end of the same sentence…
Come on!
You may have done it a time or two as well…
Especially when you are trying to make a strong point, e.g., “Are you kidding me?!”
It’s like you are asking a question, but you know you’re not going to believe the answer.

It may be wrong, but it seems sooo right
(Oh! …And sometimes I throw in a few extra o’s to make my point)

Does that make me a bad person?!
(Don’t answer that question, because you’ll see that I’ve ended it with a DDPM (double different punctuation mark) which clearly indicates that I probably won’t believe your answer anyway)

You may have noticed that I snuck a separate set of parentheses inside the of the other set…
I think that this might also be a bad thing… but quite frankly, I can’t help myself…
When I’m on a roll, there is just no stopping me!

I’m considering writing an open letter of apology to every teacher who tried to instill these rules in me all those years ago.

I would explain that it’s not that they weren’t good at their jobs, but it’s just that I am someone who writes like they think, and that I hope they would look past my punctuation faux pas and accept me for who I am…

After all, I’m more than just some commas or exclamation points…

I’m a freestyler, for gosh sakes!
DON'T JUDGE ME!!

Okay…
That may have been a bit over the top…
I apologize…
But really…
Is it hot in here?!

I’m sooo over it…
So, are we done here?!

(Note the DDPM… again, don’t answer that…)
