The Pants Party Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Ok users of x360a.org, it's gone on long enough. If you have a question, and you decide it could not have been asked any other way than by making your own thread, please, for the love of God, stick to a single question mark in the thread title. Your question won't be answered faster or better if there are multiple question marks, it just makes you look like an idiot. I cringe anytime I see a thread title like that because I just know I'm in for sweet sentences like "yo i wuz tyrin dis and it dont work can any1 help plz??????" - I'm a very helpful guy, so I try to read as many threads on games I've played as possible to answer any questions I can, but it's becoming difficult to even understand what people are asking anymore. So yeah, if you don't mind, try using some proper English and you'll get better help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minty Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Personally, I often use ??? However, I agree when I see a thread with ????????????????????? in the title I am fairly close to deleting it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highpass Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 ???, !!!, and ?! are normal in English. Any more than three is seen as treason, broken keyboard, or low IQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 ???, !!!, and ?! are normal in English. Any more than three is seen as treason, broken keyboard, or low IQ. ROFLMAO!!!

Tron Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 as long as my precious ellipses (or ellipsi?) are not threatened.... i agree with pants party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelerXBox360 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 This is a good point and I too have been known to use (3) ??? for emphasis but will even try to watch that as much as I can. Teachers everywhere should be pleased as this site is pro-grammar and spelling where are youth will actually learn while playing video games, who would have thought??? ooops, there I go again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pants Party Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 as long as my precious ellipses (or ellipsi?) are not threatened.... i agree with pants party. Heh, ellipses are alright by me, they're their own punctuation pretty much since they show a pause in thinking before continuing to the next part of the sentence, but multiple punctuations at the end of sentence is what gets me.

Worm99 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Well done that man! I couldn't agree more. We ought adjust the word filter to cater for: !!!!!! = ! ????? = ? dis = this da = the any combination of the above* = post deleted *apart from this post I completly agree with you but I think when it's deleted it should be replaced with this: http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=4867 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maka Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I love elipses... So dont ever take those away from me... As for question marks and Exclamtion points, no more than 3 should be used side by side, 3 or 2 is fine in my books... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thieflordgamer Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Elipses FTW. And I think 3 is just fine, but no more. 3 is definitely enough emphasis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
