Rule of thumb: If you use your head for what it's there for, think before you say something, be sure it's coming from the heart, and then stand by what you said, then '???'. If you have the nuts to ask me a question, then you better have the nuts to handle accept the answer. I try not to offend by remaining quiet, but when asked, you're on your own you have to be prepared to accept the response. Trying to explain cover an answer you don't stand behind agree with usually makes matters gets worse and you should not have tried to offer an explanation.have been a quiet moment. I agree with D, "not everyone gets a trophy."

Rather than think climate change and the corona virus as science, think of it as the wrath of God. Do you feel any better?

That style of punctuation is not common in French or German... their punctuation is similar to English. Maybe just bad English? Maybe a troll that didn't make it out of Grade 4?

Dik…

That initial observation of Yours [1 Apr 22 04:40]... in-which you struck thru several odd/incoherent words... is what made this rant perplexing and then laughable. But thanks... I think that Your edited rant is the 'best version' of that rant. Sadly I got wound-up and recited verses of the 'Song of the Witches –William Shakespeare' (from Macbeth) to illustrate how weird that rant was. For that, and other transgressions in the same reply [I hate charlatans and trolls in aviation] I was loudly Reported [red-flagged] to the moderators. I'm sorta in trouble with them and have to walk a really straight line, from now-on.

However, I really was more curious about the weird punctuation formatting.

Hokie, the article You found seemed to shed light on this writing phenomena. Thanks.

When my granddaughter was told that they were going to study Romeo and Juliette for their Grand 7 literature, she told the teacher it was a terrible play. The teacher was surprised at the comment, and asked, "why." Brynn explained that everyone died at the end. Brynn was homeschooled and had already studied the play.

Why try to Punctuate improperly constructed "sentences"? I say "sentence", however there is actually nothing more there than what appears to be several run together phrases.

"think before ya say something , be sure it's coming from the heart"
Replace the comma with "and", or alternatively a period and begin a new sentenance with "Be".

Another run-on "sentence".
"I try not to offend by remaining quiet but when asked , you're on your own . "
"you're on your own." Is a sentence in itself.
"I try not to offend by remaining quiet, but when asked", is an incomplete sentence and lacks a comma before ", but"

another day in paradise, or is paradise one day closer ?

I work with a number of Frenchmen and French women. I have noted that one of chaps who is 82 keep putting a space between the last word and the period . . . not always but often enough. Others seem to put a space between a word and a colon (:). I think it might have to do with them needing to "see" the colon or the period that could get lost . . . Oh and by the way this is when they write in English.

When texting, my phone helpfully provides a space after a word. It will then remove the space if a period is entered. I'm guessing the writer does a lot of texting.

Some programmers separate every token with a space even if it isn't necessary in the syntax. eg


are identical in some languages. Perhaps your ranter is a programmer!

I are guilty of informing me about a rabbit hole I never knew existed, and now have bent my mind attempting to understand what they are actually talking about. Looked like CAPS LOCK gobbly-gook to me.

Guys... Thanks a bunch for a sanity check... even at the possibility of compromising Your sanity, temporarily.

Grammar has always been my 'weakest suit' and almost go me fired, early-on. Thank God, my boss gave me a chance to improve... and I took-it-on for desperate love of the job/career of aero engineering. He actually saved my career by forcing the issue and I became 'good-enough' then to hang-on and get better over the years.

Eric… I briefly explored the concept of 'quantum grammar' and I'm still shaking my head as my thoughts 'tumble'. I'm gonna send this topic to my much smarter sister for follow-on [mess with her mind, also]. WHEN I hear her perspective... she sometimes deep-dives on topics like this.... I'll report.
