Errors are so easy to make online.
I remember one instance I was reading a poem from a certain site, it was supposed to be 202 from Emily Dickinson. But in the title they made a mistake, it read "Faith is fine Invention." Once I saw that I sent them a comment and let them know they were missing an 'a' in the title that was included in the first line but not the title. That was a month ago and they have since fixed it.
I decided to look for punctuation specific errors, and I'm realizing that most of the media I consume gets dumped if I can't understand it. But I have learned that 95% of memes are somewhere between using too many ellipses or not using any periods at all. Of course there are points where it is necessary. But for the most part I agree with this post.
Not a single period or comma in sight, yet it is still readable. But once the story gets to two sentences or more it becomes necessary.
But at the same time it can be a little ironic. You better have the best grammar and spelling ever if you plan to pick a fight over the internet.
It's been taken so far that sometimes the serious posts become jokes.
This one is one of my favorites, the whole dramatic air of the post just tossed out a window.
A more recent punctuation test given to the internet is this:
So choose your words and punctuation carefully. It can change whole ideals and societal constructs.
