Or internet boards. Punctuation still helps - even if it's not correct - with readability. Rich's point is still valid. I'm not sure what yours is.

Someone once told me never to end a sentence with a preposition. I told them prepositions are not things I end sentences with! :)

Reminds me of a story...

There once was a guy who asked his mechanic, "where is my car at?"

The mechanic replied, "Sir, you do not end sentences with a preposition."

The inquiring guy said, "Ok... where is my car at, A$$hole?"
