Placement Of Punctuation

Things That Annoy Me

Okay this is not really a problem on Asianfanfics.com but it is a huge problem on social media right now.

I have noticed many youngsters writing their sentences with their punctuations a space after where they’re supposed to be. This annoys me to no end. And what’s more is that English is their first language! I mean, didn't they learn English from young? Why are they making this mistake?

Whenever I see a person making this mistake (especially my peers or juniors in school), I automatically assume they’re an idiot. This sounds offensive, I know.

I judge people from the way they write their messages, and this does not give me a good first impression of them. I naturally shun myself from people who commit this error.

Like seriously, you have no idea how much I hate to see this mistake arising everywhere. And I mean, everywhere. I have to fight the urge to punch them in the face every single time.

I’m so glad my crush doesn't write like that, he’s a pretty good writer in fact.

Please do ignore the unrelated stuff I put here.

 

Examples (based on real cases):

Hi, I’m Jihyun !

Corrected version: Hi, I’m Jihyun!

My eyes are bleeding and even my computer recognises that mistake with a blue squiggly line.

Who does he think he is ?

Corrected version: Who does he think he is?

I walked out of my room .

Corrected version: I walked out of my room.

God, I’m getting extremely annoyed by the blue squiggly lines my computer is creating for those mistakes. I wish there exists this function in phones so people who do this will realise how ugly and deformed this looks.

 

Please help me in my quest to eradicate this problem by reminding your friends and family who make this mistake to stop writing that way, thank you very much.

Also, if you want to ask me about anything else, my Askfm account username is immainspiritvip, I don't mind anonymous questions. ;)

By the way, Asianfanfics.com censored my previous chapter name, so it appeared as “Chapter 19” at first, but I changed it, so there you go.

If you have any other issues you wanna bring up, lemme know in the comments or you can pm me in the messages if you wanna have a chapter/topic all to yourself (I’ll credit you!). Ciao!

Male preg does not bother me as much but what makes me cringe in when the male who is pregnant calls the baby ' my bundle of joy'....I don't really know why it makes me cringe, but it does.

Chapter 22: I agree with you ONE THOUSAND TIMES OVER!!!!! Those smart Alecks just makes me want to punch them in the throat! Just GTFO! And I despise fictions that use Xi as LuHan's last name it had me hating LuHan for a while because for the life of me it confused me when I started out. It's the same with those who us Li for HanKyung/HanGeng. It's Lu Han and Han Geng, dammit!

Chapter 22: A lot of fanfics here have this: except the main female character(s) who is supposedly "different": while the rest female population is "obsessed" with the main male character(s), she doesn't even care about them, the rest is filled with makeup, she doesn't put on much (sometimes even purposingly uglify herself), the rest is always in short, revealing clothing, she doesn't even like dresses... I know it's to make the main female character look good, but that doesn't mean the other regular females are all the same. And even if they do things like that, why authors have to make them become so easy, so... disgusting? It's only how they choose to dress, how to act... not because they're all bad like how they're discribed. Sometimes main male character(s) suffer this as well.
Sorry for the rant, but I hate it when people make other people look bad just to make someone look good.

Chapter 19: Somehow chapter 19 suddenly makes me want to rant all day long. Okay i have to admit, i do curse alot sometimes (okay, i do it all the time tbh) but let's all think again, there are freaking CHILDREN on asianfanfics (mainly my little brother, who now curses alot due to the fanfics that he was reading), wouldn't it be a bad influence on them? For instance, in my country (mostly my juniors) say alot. When i was in fourth grade, i didn't even know what that word meant. But now, the fourth graders at a school nearby says it like it's not a big deal. I don't know why, it irritates me alot when the ones that seems so innocent says a word they shouldn't even know. End of rant :3

P.s Anime? Should i list alot? I mean i can give you a whole page of animes you can watch. I don't know which genre you would like so, for starters if you haven't watched it yet, you can watch “Kaichou wa maid-sama”, which is very funny to be exact. I'm feeling the urge to give you a whole list to be honest.

P.p.s You made me check my comment for a long time before actually posting it. Ahaha, you changed my writing style, and to be honest, it helps me alot in my writing exams. So, Thank you :3
I still think there are alot of mistakes though.（＾ω＾）

Chapter 21: I have to agree on this, particularly the first point. It is just really unrealistic to conceive after you have just had a miscarriage. I know that some people are just misinformed when it comes to certain things, but things shouldn't always be put in a story just because they could happen in real life.
