Sidney!
fancy what?I brought you a coffee, but moderators seem to've hacked it and I guess they now eventually consumed it themselves.

Where are you, anyway? -

No, you're not me*:P*
Well, it's already night started here(~7pm)

"What do you wanna talk about?"
I'm afraid to talk about something like something - in case there's already a thread about it*:lol:*
Well, are you an occupied person? Like business or something?
Or will we just discuss my pain in the neck? Though I guess it can somehow relate to device injuries anyway*;)* -

Hey, why don't you put a question mark in the normal way?
Is it your style or what? -

Is it your style or what?No, it's not my style (to put a space before a question mark), but it is actually required in French and Portuguese grammar/punctuation, and it is a style I prefer (though I am not French or Portuguese), and have used it all through my schooling days, till the present day. I personally think it looks a lot neater, more intelligent and less cramped.
As for the full-stop (period) after the question mark, that is my style. The question mark signifies the end of a question (which is standard grammar/punctuation), but in addition, (for me) the full-stop marks the end of the sentence, which is why I include both if the sentence happens to end with a question.
Books, words and pictures ?. (This looks neater, more intelligent and less cramped, in my opinion.)

You're making that up, aren't you?
