... I'm not going to post without using correct punctuation. I'm afraid that's just how I 'roll'. So I hope everyone is cool with that. |

hey op, history teaches that the most successful way to introduce a foreign concept to a cultural group is to integrate it into an idea or practice that is already widely accepted. you may, for example, find more success saying things like "accurate punctuation gets you really high" or "correct quote marks look like little sixes and little nines, when you quote properly you're really writing the funny sex number lol".

Oh, I don't want other people to punctuate properly if they don't feel the need. I just want to be accepted for who I am. Someone with ludicrously rigid standards of punctuation and capitalisation, but also a massive inferiority complex.

Everyone has a distinct posting "voice." If yours involves proper punctuation and spelling, more power to you. My involves using steganography to communicate with my terrorist cell.

There's room for all kinds here. For example, I reject the traditional interrobang (?!) and instead use the improper exclamaquiz (!?). And yet no villagers have chased me out with pitchforks...yet... |

You may indeed call me such a thing. hockey jockey posted:Everyone else, thank you for the warm waves of acceptance I can feel rolling around in this thread. Warm and accepting is pretty much the BYOB way.

In AE a period or comma always goes inside quotes. Question marks and !s can go inside or outside depending on e.g. if the person you're quoting was asking a question vs if you're asking a question about what they're saying Like She asked, "can I post with punctuation here?" vs Did she just say "I'm going to post in byob with punctuation"? |

I mean, like, 'duh'! Sorry, did that sound really rude? Being British is a huge burden manners-wise.

I stand proud, a classy cocktail in hand and dressed to the nines, dictating all of my posts to a super cool dog who is my posting buddy and transcribes all of my posts for me as I thoughtfully pace the room. So if my posts lack proper punctuation, grammar, or spelling, it is on the dog, but it is totally un-BYOB to have a problem with a dog that cool, so I am off the hook.
