Is your keyboard broken? - SV650.org

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.

No, if I do, it is on purpose

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.

No it doesn't.

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

Think on.

I haven't had any problems communicating on a written forum so far

Have you?
