Default Is your keyboard broken?

Do you accidentally put sixteen question or exclamation marks where one is the right amount?

Do you find it impossible to correctly type an ellipsis of a mere three dots and end up with nine or a dozen?

Maybe your keyboard is broken, or perhaps it's just that the repeat rate is set wrong, whatever, help is at hand:

This is a question mark: ?
This: ????????? doesn't mean it's a harder question.

This is an exclamation mark: !
This: !!!!!!!!!!!!!! doesn't mean a greater level of surprise or shock is merited.

This is an ellipsis: ...
This: ............. is meaningless.

I assume that's a typo and it's meant to say "No it's not."?

... not an ellipsis or ............. not meaningless?

And I think Sid Squid is intelligent, more than most people on this forum.

Your command of English and thus your ability to effectively communicate on a written forum are compromised if this understanding is lost.

Think on.
