Excess Punctuation

Posted February 16th, 2007 in Archive by Darfuria

It has been a while since I have criticised something because of the famous “green-grocer’s apostrophe”, or generally a complete lack of knowledge of the English language, but this one amused me:

The thing that amused me about it is that it had a comma, in the correct place, but it is quite clearly asking a question, and using far too many exclamation marks. I think it’s pretty safe to assume that the idiot who did the text for this t-shirt obviously didn’t realise that you are supposed to have a question mark at the end of a question. And what’s with these people going craaaazy with their !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ing? One is enough, surely?
