pgrmdave Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 I usually only use asterisks when I'm denoting an action that I'm performing, Buffy seems to use them similar to italics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Mmmmmm... so many *emphatics*, so little time. Lets not forget the humble underline, which back in the day of typewriters was an accepted norm, because you could push the carriage back and add underlining without requiring additional keys. The asterisks found use primarily for footnoting.*So there*So thereSo thereSo thereSO THERE *SO THERE* PS The reference to a typewriter is not lost on me as obscure.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormod Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Mmmmmm... so many *emphatics*, so little time. At least it's not so dazzling as Buffy's eschew obfusciation. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 At least it's not so dazzling as Buffy's eschew obfusciation. :) When Buffy *eschews*, I find it best to simply say gesundheit, and offer her a tissue. ;) Admittedly not dazzling, but it helps prevent the spread of dis-ease. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffy Posted November 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 I've been curious for a while Buffy, why do you put the 'H' in italics in your sig?Oh my!

Buffy Posted November 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 You often surround *words* thusly. What is your methodology for the use of *word,* and how is that different from "word"?It snot. Its just like how a like to put the proper emPHAsis on the right sylLABle... Emphatically,Buffy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffy Posted November 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 I prefer italics for sarcasm, you know, a little extra something to push the intent across.For sarcasm that's explicit, I usually use :phones: or if its really raw, I use :evil: Most of the time though, I don't indicate when I'm being sarcastic because I don't want to tip off deservedly clueless targets... :evil:I find that it still goes over people's heads, though.I feel your pain. :phones: Alms for the differently clued,Buffy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
