The dumbest thing ever to come out of Canada
And, yes, I include The Final Sacrifice in that calculation.
The pomma point, is, apparently, some new punctuation mark that the Torque Institute (out of Canada) would like to see instituted. It's meant to express mild excitement. Sort of like, "Hey, love those boots." We're not really excited and the exclamation mark makes it seem like we're screaming, but we're sort of excited, which isn't expressed, they say, by the period. Not that the sentence itself doesn't express sort of excitement just fine all on its own.
It can also show "heightened indifference" which god only knows what that means. I imagine it's like when your bags have been misplaced at the airline and you're shouting, "I don't care how you do it, but I want those bags back now." Because you're indifferent but also angry. Or maybe it's like when some guy wants to have sex with you and you're not really into it, but you're too drunk to say no. Who knows?
Anyway, the real point is that if you're going to be discussing things that are "between period and" anything else, you should disable Google adsense or you'll wind up with this:
