      And don’t forget the smileys, misspellings, ellipses and “Have a nice day, libtard😀😀😀”.

      (Ugh. I got irritated just writing that much in mockery)

        see this doesn’t actually make me as uncomfortable because it’s just… obnoxious
        it’s not incomprehensible, i get why people would write like that

        I’d much rather people write stilted sentences than comma splices everywhere.

        like, i get not being good at using punctuation so you just end up typing massive run on sentences or, like, constantly using, commas… or overusing the… uh… what´s it called… ellipsis…

        but holy shit HOW HOW HOW do these people end up thinking THIS , makes any , sort of sense,;;;,;;;;;,:;.;.,:;.;:;.,:;:;:;:---_‘-’–¨'̈́̈́̈́̈́’̈́̈́̈́̈́̈́̈́̈́̈́̈́̈́̈́̈́…:::.:…:::.

        in what fucking country, what fucking culture, is this shit actually seen as normal? the most i’ve seen being used as standard is like, french putting a space before question marks for some reason, and chinese or whatever sometimes using some slightly funky punctuation, but i’ve never found a culture that genuinely treats this shit;;; as normal

        like… do people not read things? how the fuck does one end up thinking no one is going to find that punctuation usage strange?

          Cripes. There’s a guy on one of the old forums I frequent (yes, really) who does the ellipsis thing.

          he writes literally everything all in lower case… with every thought punctuated with nothing but an ellipsis… even if hes asking a question… you know… youd think its a bit but hes been doing it consistently for years… i have to wonder if he actually writes all this work emails and professional correspondence like this too… like if he actually writes something out on paper with a pencil does he end every line with…

          Anyway, lots of dumbasses in our country have been failed by our dumbass education system, which was ruined by other dumbasses. It’s infuriating.

            i think what makes it so unnerving to me is that i don’t see it just being caused by a lack of education, because if you can write then surely you can also read, and thus surely you can read normal text which exists everywhere and can’t be missed

            the kind of bad writing that lack of education causes is more just bad grammar and boneappleteas (writing unknown phrases as the closest matching words you do know, so “bon appetit” turns into “bone apple tea”), with maybe some sloppy punctuation usage but not outright
