View Full Version : If you were a punctuation mark, what would you be?

And why?

I'd be a semi-colon, because I feel it is exactly like me.


It gives the impression of elegance and wisdom when most of the time there is none.
It doesn't seem to know what it's doing, half the time.
It seems to annoy people endlessly :D


How about you?


PS: This might belong in the Lounge, or even Word Games, so if someone who knows better than me (and who has mod powers ;)) sees fit to move it, fair game :)

I would be a speech mark as I am constantly talking and i always have to appear in two's, which is cool. :p

funny question btw, what made you think of this?

I think I would be a question mark.
I am always asking myself questions.
I am always second guessing myself as well.
I love having people ask me things.
I have a mind that retains trivia and useless facts.
I have a wealth of experience dealing with children and people and like to pass on my advice.

I agree with Heather.
strange intriguing question. how did you come up with it?

I would probably be a colon, because I could pun off myself (without getting crude!).

If I had a bowel resection surgery, I would be a semicolon.

I would be a full stop. Everything that ends I'm there. I never leave things unfinished I never walk away until things are finished. And a full stop represents the end well I'm always there.

And the full stop means the end of the sentence, leaving the way for a new sentence (Beginning) And I believe in change and new beginnings

An interrobang because, even though you might expect me to do something odd, it's still somewhere beyond what you had in mind. Not to mention, I'm a hybrid in so many aspects that choosing that just seems natural. In addition, I like saying it: ¡¿Interrobang?!

I would be an exclamation point, because I'm always moving. I like challenges. If something bad happens or if someone makes fun of me, I get back at them.

Banzai
11-12-2007, 04:27 PM
Any reason, Cicero?

11-12-2007, 04:28 PM
I would be ...
Because you never quite know whats coming after it, and most people don't know what I'm going to do next.

Like get hyper off citrus? :p

Cicero

Any reason, Cicero?

Whoops! I totally forgot about the "And why." part, sorry. I would be a question mark, because I like to question everything.:rolleyes:

I have no idea what I would be. You are a wierd man Banzai! oh, there I go. I'm an exlcimation point, a comma, a full stop and a , well I forgot what the last bit is called.

I would be space. Hahhaaaa. Because there is something there but you just can't see it!

adamant
11-12-2007, 06:44 PM
You could be an underscore T_T

Semi-colon; I'm not the most interesting but I can pave the way for something good. Or not so good. :p

I think that I'd be a comma maybe. I always leave things open.

A period. Simple, plain, to the point.

I'd be Guillemets << >> because I don't know in which direction I'm heading.

Perhaps a dash - I'm always trying to keep up with everything at once.

I'm a -

I would be the loved exclamation!
Mostly because I only write things that I mean, and I feel like the exclamation mark/point? emphasizes what you are trying to say. I myself often emphasize happiness and even anger, so I think it fits me well.

I'd be ( ) doomed to annoy people by interrupting whatever is going on with excessive explanations, silly asides and aggravating digressions.

I think I'd be a question marl becuase I get confused so easily. :p

I would be the writer putting these things in! :p

That's not allowed; you are hereby disqualified.

I would be an apostrophe because I'm from the south; I like to squeeze all kinds of words together . . . Among other things.

11-15-2007, 02:20 PM
a ?

because i've always questioned everything, since i learned to speak... can recall driving my parents to distraction at 7, asking about a coffee table, 'is this really a table, or do we just think it is?'... so i guess it's no surprise that i ended up as a full time philosopher...

I would be a full stop because I like to finish things and there's more to me than meets the eye.

I'd be a question mark.

?????????

I love to learn and am always asking 'why.'

Or I might be an exclamation point, because I am very loud and hyper, and I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve. (Exclamation points are always a dead giveaway of what you are feeling, in my opinion.)

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I'm an exclamation point/question mark hybrid, at the risk of sounding too 'text-message-y.'

?!?!?!?!?!
