In Response to Re: One more Duel - tonight. : I actually fell out with the wife on Monday about her misuse of the question mark (she went and used 3 in a text message for one question). Gets up my nose like there is a hidden meaning to it. She said sorry though and that's us back on talking terms. Posted by yuranASSet
Same thing. It's just so wrong. Do they think we did not see the first one?
Nothing irritates more. Except things that irritate more, like mis-used exclamation points.
You do realise that comments like this, force us, compel us, drive us blindly, to use them?
'Honestly, nothing yanks my chain more than multi exclamation marks or even un-necessary use of them. I could explain why, but I might just get in trouble if I did.'
When I didded my O and A levels, an ! wasn't lobbed about like a pit-bull with an empty pop bottle, so I guess given your mature stature, you're used to how it was in the good old days?
It does seem that it's now acceptable to throw an ! in at every opportunity. I'll agree with you there.
It doesn't bother me personally. I have enough trouble understanding poker abbreviations in the chat-box to care about an extra !. Equity this, -ve that, +ve that. I don't have a clue what people are on about half the time. Proper twaddle they type I tell ya. It's gobbledegook. May as well be Korean.
In my brain, when I read 'I had to, I had no fold equity' = blah blah wtf does that mean blah blah I fancy a sandwich blah blah
Off track a bit, but that poker technical stuff gets on my proverbials the same way an ! gets on yours.
He may as well get me a new washing machine. Equally as thoughtless but at least I'd be able to use it.
And another thing. ICM. Even when someone provided a link as to what it was, I'm still none the wiser. I read about three paragraphs before feeling exhausted.
so disappointed that you didn't mean my epic duel against Richard Orford in the HUFA about to take place imminently - oh well one day I will get top billing - one day - one day................

And then there are those who use multi-both.
"Like this???!!!"
Think I need to go for a walk, to calm down now.
That'll be handy.
