Maybe I should rephrase what I posted:
I've never seen anyone add extra dots to a sentence on a Twitter post,
on a blog, or on a discussion group, UNTIL NOW. And I've NEVER seen a
professional editor post such a silly and mean non-sentence to a client.
Not to mention Judy's silly prefixed

If it was standard practice, you'd probably have seen it posted here
on FFL after ten years and thousands of postings. And, anyone would be
able to cite such practice, even without a doing a good search. It sure
sounds like a Judy fib to me, and even she never once in ten years used
extra dots
There IS an echo in here - I thought so.
But, did anyone notice how Judy skirted the issue of the name-calling in
order to win the political debate? Now that's some real obsfucation!
P.S. I stand corrected on the Vaj attribution, but the actual poster,
Pedro, was my own debating opponent on

Thanks for the funny reply, Ann - but you did a pretty good job of
dodging the issue yourself. LoL!
But, if you have read the exchange, you will now have realized that I
didn't make anything up. So, it looks like Judy told a fib about me
making all this stuff up. The echo messenger got

The way you state half sister is so odd to me. Yes, I understand the genetic
aspect, but from a relational standpoint, it is just so odd to me. Did you
just meet her or have you known her for a long time?

It's interesting to see the different approaches taken by the Mean Girls.
Authfriend practices a kind of knee-jerk negativity that produces crude, nasty

What you and authfriend don't like is that Share does not respond to you in the
way you declare that she ought to, and that makes you mad and mean. You think
she should say what you have scripted for her, but of course things don't work
that way, and to expect them to is just another way of

Um, looks a whole lot different from here, Feste. As for the weird
punctuation, you must not get around the Web a lot; it's pretty much standard
practice these days for bloggers and commenters when they want to say something
emphatically.
Poor Richard has been exceedingly frustrated that he

Good, it appears that you do. OTOH, you gain pleasure from holding a

Like I said, Feste, Judy doesn't take criticism very gracefully. It's
looking like Judy is striking out on all counts today - not one single
person is defending her. If anyone dares to say anything about her, she
bites back. And there is an echo in here.

Goodness me, just because it's a fad on the Web doesn't mean you have to follow
it. It. Makes. No. Sense. At. All. It's. Stupid. I thought you were the sort
of person who liked to uphold standards of good, effective writing, but alas,
it appears that I am mistaken. I. Am. Sad. About. That.
I don't follow it because it's a fad. I don't follow it at all, actually; I
very rarely use it. But it really isn't stupid--if you think about how it
would sound if you said it aloud, you may hear an echo of, say, your mother:

What is with you? I wouldn't have said it if I didn't mean it. But don't
overinterpret. It's not that every time someone wants to be emphatic, they use
it. Rather, it's standard in that it's used often enough that most readers
have seen it before and don't think it's weird; they understand what
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.
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
