| Does this bug anyone else?
When people use multiple exclamation points or question marks?
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
??????????????????????
As if that makes the statement more exclamatory or the question more, well, questionable.
It reminds me of people who say, "I gave 110%" which, in itself, is a flawed statement as there is no such thing as giving more than 100% of one's ability.
All one has to give is 100% of their ability, right?
It is illogical.
While I am on track with this, does anyone know the difference between "you're" and "your".
Which one is possessive??????????
That is all!!!!!!! |

| If you've never had the experience of finding yourself performing at a higher than your usual level, that's a shame Not in a sport?? There can be moments in which your focus can be so perfect as to take you to another level in performance of just about any activity. Every martial arts deliberately trains for this and every high level athlete knows it's possible to sometimes reach performance levels of 110, 125, even 200% of their normal levels. Sometimes it's called a zen state and it's a trick to maintain for long but it certainly isn't illogical.
Take a pill or something!!! Do you feel alright????

If you feel you are achieving 150% of your "normal level" then it is apparent that you simply never achieved 100% before.
I am not all upset about it, nor am I losing sleep over it so I do not need a pill.
Actually, I do feel alright. As a matter of fact, I am 172% of normal.  | |

Also, three (3) period marks is the standard for an open ended sentence.  | |

| Your education must have been somewhat lackluster, as you're asking a very basic grammar question...

I never said I was a master of the English language, nor am I suggesting it. All I asked was if it bugged anyone.
Simple question.
I don't really see your point. Or is it you're point?
Can't know. | |

| You're right on about the multiple exclamation points and question marks.
Your use of them is questionable.
