Reply To: “Recommended Posts” (was: “Best of the Forums”) – NEWBIES PLEASE RESPOND
Hey now, don’t make fun of my tildas! Somewhere in my brain, I “learned” that it was a way to indicate inflection at the end of a sentence, like I’m kind of implying sarcasm or humorous questioning. I don’t even know where I first picked it up, and it’s such an inbred habit at this point that on another board, when I tried to make a “fake” person as part of a joke, I got caught because without even thinking about it, I ended a post with a tilda and everyone immediately knew it was me.
Besides, everyone knows everything I say is brilliant. I don’t want to dominate the “best of”~
(See, an appropriate place to end a sentence with a tilda!)
