Exactly. The scary thing is that it's being presented as a "standard" by
someone who claims to be an editor.
Yes, extremely scary. So scary, in fact, that I think, as of this moment I
will abandon all usage of punctuation in the form of periods from now on in an
attempt to avoid such a scary scenario as actually using too many of them,
don't you think that would be a good idea? (Question marks appear to be safe)
Now if you will excuse me I need to run on into
lack-of-punctuation-with-periods eternity and in so doing I just might find
that elusive thing some people refer here as enlightenment or self realization
By the way thank you for your usual, generous insights I don't know what we all
would do without them Perhaps we will never have the opportunity to find out I
am finding this lack of period thing helpful, how about you?
