only conclude that you have cracked under the recent pressure. First, Share

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
Standard practice? You have got to be kidding. I have never seen it before. I.
Think. It. Is. Very. Bad. Writing. It's quite fun watching you being a punching
bag for everyone else and lamely trying to claim victory. As for the
testosterone pills, I don't need them. Just ask my girlfriend.
Feste, do you see the humor in this?

Good, it appears that you do. OTOH, you gain pleasure from holding a
perception that Judy is a punching bag getting beat up. Sounds kind of
macabre to me.

Uh, no.

LOL. Better learn to appreciate Web-speak for the sake of your blood pressure.
It's not going anywhere.

It's just a metaphor, hon.

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:
You. Get. In. Here. Right. Now. It can be an effective way of
Are you still insisting that it's pretty much standard practice these days for
bloggers and commenters when they want to say something emphatically?

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
