Hee hee. In the relevant thread, Feste didn't believe me when I explained to
him that the period-after-every-word convention was now a standard way to
indicate emphasis on the Web:
I don't think you have even remotely established this as 'standard practice.;
On the contrary, it's an unusual deviation from the norm. I wasn't impressed by
the link you provided. It was a lot of people asking about the use of periods
after every word, but not a single example that I could see. Nor have I seen a
single example of its use by a good writer. Where are these blogs in which it
is 'standard practice'?
And I responded:
No, I didn't suggest that the Google links were to examples. I was responding
to Richard's claim that it didn't exist, essentially, because he'd never seen
it. Obviously many people have seen it, but you wouldn't expect to see links to
examples, for pete's sake. As I said, the next time I come across an example,
I'll give you a link. But you're still overinterpreting 'standard practice,' as
I explained and you ignored [i.e., it isn't standard in that it's used any
time someone wants to indicate emphasis, but rather that it's used often enough
that most readers have seen it before and don't think it's weird; they
understand what it's meant to convey].
As I said I would, I've now provided links to four different examples. (Let me
know if anyone wants to see links to the posts I just quoted.) And now Feste's
pissed off because he looks like an ass for having been so unpleasantly
skeptical (along with Richard and Barry).

No, dummy, that's what I meant initially by standard practice. You decided to
reinterpret it to suit your desperate need to get me. I corrected you as soon

it, digging, digging, digging.
Just to make your digging a little tougher, the guy who wrote the article in
which this example appeared (on a religion site, no less), Jeremy Lott, is a
prolific writer and editor:

Think maybe I read a lot of stuff that you don't?
I have no problem accepting that you don't see it in what you read. Can you
accept that I've seen it often enough in what I read to call it standard
practice in that material (mostly blogs and comments) and to have picked it up
and used it myself? (And if you could force Barry to be truthful--big IF--I'm
willing to bet he'd confess to having used it in at least one of his posts. Not
positive, but pretty sure. It's the sort of quasi-hip informality he likes to
emulate.)

It's not standard practice on Twitter, the most popular instant
messenger program on the internet - anyone would be an idiot to waste a
character by putting dots in between words when you're limited to 140
characters. It would be stupid, really stupid. If anyone did that on
Twitter, they'd probably be mocked and ridiculed to no end.

Em, Richard is one self-indulgent SOB who has no ability to self-limit, self-censure or self-control. He is very much like his favourite groupie/fan/panderer here (who shall not be named). Can you just imagine Texas Dick if he hadn't started to meditate?

I can explain it to you, but I can’t understand it for you.

As I said I would, I've now provided links to four different examples. (Let me

Feste, you really have nothing to work with here but you are trying,

Is it alright with you, Ann, if I post a few messages here, for just about

alright with you? No Tex, it is not alright. Try and curtail your obsessive
nature and put the computer to bed now. You are being indulgent and flooding

talking to yourself exclusively.
Some people just feel better when they have someone to talk to - even if that

You said it, baby.
Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: Hey, Feste...here#39;s number four
Keep up the good work, Feste. There are NO standard practices on the
internet or the web. And, that includes capitalizing the word web. It
used to be that the standard practice was to capitalize the word
internet, but that has all changed. These days NOBODY capitalized
Web or Internet. That's because there in no web or internet -
it's all just tubes and cables and routers.
And, only newbies put dots in between words on Twitter. That's a fact
that is undisputed.
