GET OFF YO MOTHA EFFIN PERIOD YOU CRAZY LADY!!!

This is an interesting thing I've realized... I don't know if it holds true for everyone, but it does for me:

Punctuation online - Punctuation replaces almost all clauses and words and gives the reader a specific impression every time when read online! Check it out:

Exclamation point = casual
Period = serious and thus lame (except when used in conjunction with the semicolon, where it adopts semicolon status)
Semicolon = scientific
1 Question mark = honest question
>1 = Casual question
>1 + ! = rhetorical question
ellipsis = usual semi serious statement if spoken

Let's try this out:

I don't know why but life sucks right now and I could really use a shotgun to the face!

Let's be honest, no one is going to call up that guy and be like "oh crap man, sorry that you're feeling bad, you wanna talk?"

Life is going really good right now.

Oh Lord, what a downer! I'm removing this person from my friends list! Total lamer!!!

The vagina is so interesting sometimes; on certain days it looks like a crab and on others a dinosaur.

Now obviously towards the end this is a sentence written by a class A douchebag, but man, that semicolon had me going for a minute at least!

Does anyone know how to solve rectal bleeding?

Oh this is no troll, unless by troll you mean someone who has a genetic problem that is affecting their health!

Can I find an apple tree at Intel???

Answer, but only if you want I guess... right?

When do classes start?!?!?!?

You think you should answer this, but there is an obviously rhetorical quality to this....

I'm gonna fry an egg... but I don't really know how... oh well, I'll get some straight up booty anyway...

AHA! The ellipsis is the most effective way to convey general thought without being too melodramatic. See, I just used a period, so now I'm effed! What the hell am I supposed to do?!?!?!?! By the way, has anyone else put any thought into this? I've been thinking about it for a while... so, where are my honeys????
