....put a space after the last word in a sentence and an exclamation mark/question mark? I haven't seen that much of it before but I feel like it's all over ATOT. Can anyone explain this? (not "Can anyone explain this ?") :)

I know why. There is one member who does this consistently and she posts a lot. That is why it feels like it's all over ATOT.:)

I have one friend who always puts a period and then the other punctuation mark. For example, he will type, "Hey.! What's up.?" I find that to be pretty strange. I think people do what you describe unconsciously; they just hit the space bar out of habit (it is, after all the most-used key on the keyboard.)

I can't say I've noticed it before :) It's better than those people who use emoticons for punctuation :p Don't you agree :D

There are 3 stupid flash animations I like. "all your base", "Whee"(the squirrel one) and the VW GTI vs the ricer.
Some things are destined to be classics.
