Yeah, many variations of this going around, but I have to admit this one is pretty funny - thanks for the laugh.

This crap is everywhere. Last month it was Tebowing. That we have turned into complete Lemmings is distressing to me. A Macarena every month? Then I vote for global apocalypse.

"Mastabatory"?Are you from Compton?When you polish your bayonet;are you "mastabating",or "masturbating"?C'mon,man.First you give up on spelling;soon grammar and usage go out the window....eventually you make as much sense as Ellenor Stone.

Don't forget the bolt gun that Stallone carries. Most of America thinks that is real also.

Mr. Joe, if you're gonna be a grammar and spelling Nazi, please remember: Spaces go AFTER periods, commas, questions marks, semi colons, and all other punctuation marks. Every time! C'mon man!

Thanks. It's funny, because I read some fluff piece about it on one of the major news sites. The guy was going on about how unhip and misgroovy it is (was?) to be using spaces everywhere; so, I've been experimenting with it. I guess you don't approve, eh? Score one for the traditionalists.
EDIT-Don't forget ellipses...........I really like those.
But, seriously; Nazi? Man, is that ever a trite cliche? How DO you punctuate that last statement? UH-oh...starting to have serious self esteem issues...

Just trying to have a little fun, John, not to hurt any feelings.
Tricycle racing? Does that mean what I think it does?

Ellipses don't work for the end of a sentence. In trying to show continued thought and possibility (at the end of a sentence), you go with 4 dots, not 3. An elipses is used more for in-sentence pause and continuation. . . basically a comma with a breath.

Semi-colon use is debatable; but when written out, it needs a hyphen.

What can I say, I'm a tradster.

It's "question mark" or "marks"; but not "questions", plural.

C'mon, Dakota!
