Hashtags are great. They're an instanlt recognizable marker that lets you know you are pretty safe skipping over the post they're used in, and likely just as safe not reading anything from someone who uses them all the time.

Bless the twits for saving me time by self-identifying!

Are hashtags any different than the sigs left by a smartfone? Yes the hashtags are actively posted while the sigs are passively dropped behind like manure, but just changing a default will prevent the droppings.

But a rue should be considered! It is the basis for a really good white sauce.

Or did you mean roo - in which case please ask Kanga for advice. I'm sure she approves of hers.

Yeah, I asked fo r this YEARS ago. Before even Advice and Avatars.


Which reminds me, can someone find and bump the playground thread.

I hate it when people use semi colons it is so annoying. Use a comma no one knows the difference anyway. I am thinking of reporting anyone with sports avatars they are also stupid. No one cares about your team.

Oh Richard, when I taught grammar to twelve year old students, I told them that those were the most powerful, scariest punctuation on Earth. I said that they should stop whining about being treated like children and they should stop complaining about not being allowed to do the things they want to do.

Instead, they should write a simple note to their parents and in that note they should use a semicolon just once. They should leave the note by the door and never mention it again. I explained that nothing they could say would be more powerful, more moving and yes, more frightening, to any adult than than knowing that their little girl or boy correctly used a semicolon.

but then how else will you know which posters can beat you up irl?

Why go half way? Use a colon:

my father had half his large intestine removed

Ok: he had a semi colonectomy: but the half is now all he's got: so it's the whole thing: it's a colon:

A+ I thought this was Kevmode.
