Whew! That last one was a mouthful, but it's an all-in-one that encompasses everything we've learned so far. Without further ado, let's get onto...

Fireballese Punctuation

Forget everything you've learned about English punctuation. As Fireball was quoted saying, "WE are not in ENGLISH CLASS...no commas saves time." We have no use for commas, apostrophes, parentheses and semi-colons in Fireballese. Time is valuable and if we can eliminate certain punctuation marks without taking away from the meaning of the sentence, then why not? The only three sentence markers of interest are the period "." ... the exclamation mark "!" ... and the mathematical sign ">"

♥ "." and its usage: The period is simply used to separate ideas (there are no sentences in Fireballese; only ideas). Don't use discretion when using the period as there is no rule as to how many consecutive periods you can have between ideas. Fireball: IM METHODIST and SAVED for 34 yrs.....CHOOSE TRINITY....consider repenting.

♥ "!" and its usage:

♥ ">" and its usage: The 'greater than or equal' mathematical sign has deictic use (that it so say, the location where the sentence is uttered is relevant to our understanding of it). It is to be used when you want to redirect someone to another Yahoo! Answers section by pointing to the sidebar. Again, use no discretion. Fireball: WHY ARE ATHEISTS IN RELIG.....halloween is this way>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
