I have difficulty with ";" and ":" I think I either skipped that week, or they just didn't cover it right. I take much more care in formal writing then writing here on the boards. I love using ellipses here, but it wouldn't fly in a real paper.

Even if it made skjerka crushingly unhappy, I'd still rather he didn't 'decorate'. Punctuation is a beautiful thing, but only when it isn't being figuratively raped.
i'd go with the latter, what happened?

That's what it is! I'm not going to even address it. It's like when Americans add 'istic' onto the the end of every adjective to make themselves sound intelligent (ha!). Oh sorry, I mean 'intelligentistic'...Ooh, almost forgot the anger diffusing smiley!
I don't like to be a pedant, but I did say "it's like when Americans add 'istic'[...]".But as you say, my anger is all in good humour. But there is a message behind it: punctuation matters!*
