    If "weren't" were a noun this might almost be a coherent sentence fragment

    Hmm. The word 'bad' would have to be used as a verb.

    Your constant lack of end-of-sentence punctuation is starting to bug me.

    I may be hated for saying this, but this is why men are better at shopping than women. They have a much better tendency to only buy what they're supposed to.

    Yep, not really liking it if you are serious. I have known both men and women who are very bad and very good at shopping. It has very little to do with their sexual organs.

    I reserve periods for when I am

    DEADLY SERIOUS™

    Punctuation does not work well with my speaking style, nor does it convey the proper mood. Exhibit A:

    How would my posts come off if I typed like Makaze all the time?

    I'll tell you how

    DEADLY SERIOUS™

    Note that I almost always use punctuation when posting outside the Spamzone. I also use far fewer page breaks, because those posts are actually meant to appear as what they are: written paragraphs. In these posts I am emulating my speaking style, wherein I often pause momentarily for emphasis or prattle on incessantly.

    tl;dr it's my thing get over it

    it's not even that girls spend too much when shopping by buying things they don't need. i was implying that when there is a sale going on, you buy a bunch of things because they're cheap, and you don't think about the cost when they're all added up, and when they are added together, the price is probably more than you would have spent if they weren't on sale.

    but i guess you get more out of it, so idek.
