This is your brain....

This is your brain on drugs??

This one is sure to be in the Top 20 for months to come. Oh help us.

a 6 year old wrote this? No capitalization; expected. Spelling;
perfect. Random use of puctuation; not surprising. Appropriate
placement of question marks in sentence; very good. Wrong number of
question marks; not good, but with practice could learn by 7 or 8.

I'd say the writer would get an S or an S+ under those! circumstances.

ee cummings (capitalization intentional) used to write stuff like
this. He could never figure out what to do with punctuation either,
and generally omitted it. On the other hand, he did it on purpose,
and one hopes knew which rules he was breaking.

I'd suggest proofreading for spelling and grammar problems, but this
letter is nothing but a spelling and grammar problem.....

Mark,

I apologize for the confusion. That was me calling, to see if you got
that bag of punctuation I sent you. I see now that you did. Next,
I'll be sending you a bag of context and capitalization. Maybe you
could mix and match.

Have a great day!!!!

What's with all the exlamation marks and queation marks?

Take a look at his other letters. "Beer taste" seems to say an aweful
lot.

With no called ID!!!!
How do you know???
If it was???
The AT&T tech at all!!!!!

I'd like to buy a question mark please!

I saw the best minds!
of my generation!
destroyed by madness!
starving!
hysterical!
naked!
this!!!!!!! creates a problem!!!!!!!!!!!!

i went on a walk!
alone!
the woods were quiet!
but!
alone i was not!!
who?
it was not!!! think! man or someone?
gives me sickness!!!!!! this!
who came? who went?
do i give a darn??????
no!

This letter is like Frank Zappa. While it may be unique and have
merits, the general populace will disregard it as just plain weird and
goofy.

Might I suggest taking a more Burt Bacharach approach in the future.

Mark:

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and furthermore !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Additionally, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. In conclusion, !!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Regards,

Are you writing poetry, or a complaint?

All your base are belong to us!

Told ya once... I'll tell ya again...

Atleast your letters are consistant!

Who are you talking to?!
What exactly is the problem?!
When did you decide this was a problem?!
Where does it go from here?!
Why did you write this letter?!
How can this be resolved to your satisfaction?!


Please rewrite this in a standard business format not like a blog
entry. Do not abuse punctuation, clearly write what you perceive to
be the issue, and how they can fix it? Calmly written well thought
out and put together letters get the best responses. Try it sometime

Mark loves question marks
Exclamation points, oh yeah
Can I have more please?

Hi Mark!
You have a very valid complaint!
It is really frustrating when somebody calls you!
And only lets the phone ring once!
You don't know who it is!
Who is it?!

However!
It really doesn't look good!
To throw exclamation points at the end of every sentence!
That creates a problem!
It makes the letter hard to read!

So try rewriting it into a single paragraph, explaining that they hung
up before you could even answer the phone, and see if that gets you a
more favorable response.

Is this a haiku?

Good point, Mark, but it got lost under that mountain of unnecessary
and misplaced punctuation.

Definitely not the way to write a serious business letter.
