I see you put a question mark after your full stops. full stops are the end of a sentence, and you're starting your next sentence with a question mark?

two can play at that game matey.

It isn't a full stop, it's an ellipsis which is also known as an mission marks or a suspension. It is used to show the sentence is deliberately unfinished, and shows that the writer has simply "tailed off" into silence, deliberately leaving something unsaid.

So I'm completely entitled to place a question mark after the ellipsis.

And because you seemed to have interpreted what was simply an off-hand remark about randomly dropping capital letters from your posts as a personal affront, I have went into this detailed explanation over grammar. Let's stop it now.

Actually, Ronn, I hate to break it to you, but your new habit is actually in violation of site policy.

I'm afraid I can't do periods. Don't want to get too technical as to why so all I'll say is that it's because I'm a dude. ;)

You and your silly UK vernacular. Full stops, whatever. :P

We say 'full stop' in Australia, too, but I say 'period' here because the main language of the Internet is American.

Thank you, RV. :P

You mean "American English" surely. ;)

Or the worst name "English (US)". Just a tad contradictive, that.

German is the language of Gods. English is a Germanic language. American English is English for people who got too used to spelling words exactly as they sound.....I blame the Romans.

How can you critise his grammer when you have just made more mistakes now!

(By the way I am not saying mine is great)

way to bring up an old argument that nobody cares about.
