Ha, I am of the opinion that full stops are not necessary for single sentence statements since a full stop's function is merely to indicate when one sentence ends before a new one begins, which is not needed if there is no other sentence subsequently following, so I smite full stops with a vengeance if they are not required, thereby limiting the use of energy in order to protect our precious planet, for creating a full stop does use energy (and just consider for a moment how many useless ones there are in the light of what I have just said); although creating long sentences with commas and semi-colons (not to mention hyphens, or dashes, or whatever you may call them, oh and parentheses) may be weakening my argument somewhat; but a weak argument remains, nonetheless, an argument, and I do enjoy an argument (and an Oxford comma)
Semi-colon dash right parenthesis (In order not to wake Don Quiscottie) There are more things in Perth and under the Helmet of Perthino than are dreamt of in Seanhenge. At five past twelve (see above) you found a way to save this planet. Did not already Camus realise that 'everything is simple. It's people who complicate things'? Tonight self-critically I add: Especially nitpickers and Korinthenkacker. Greta et al. who came from all over the world to save the world in Glasgow should march to Perth in order to learn the future is pointless; not only for Fridays. Afterwards they will coin a new slogan: Full stop for mankind!
Andrew, you have just made a new and ever-more noble task for me, but lancing all those un-needed full stops will be like shooting fish in a barrel, there are so many! I will rouse Rocinante now, and get to it, nobly (oh why are fools so wasteful with this world Dear Seanso, when Andrew is there to guide them would they but listen?)
Stunning sky. As they will be whether there are people to admire them or not. And if you go out with a bang, the skies may be particularly spectacular.

DeleteNo US-Americanisms on this site, Mark! Okeydokey?
DeleteDear Don, what shall I say? I wish Rocinante blew his breath and all those fools were scattered.

ReplyDeleteI shall be playing my harp on cloud No.7, then. Or not. ;-)
DeleteA stunning sky.
