Perhaps you are referring to your immediate circle of friends. You
might try to be like them, to fit in better with the group. You might
try to write English in a manner consistent with educated people. You
might try both. When you write informally with your friends, you might
adopt the fun (?) style of leaving out punctuation marks, and when you
write with others you might show that you have an education and an
understanding of how to write English.</description></item><item><title>Re: No one pays any attention to punctuation marks.</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/NoPaysAttentionPunctuationMarks/cmzrk/post.htm#227501</link><pubDate>Mon, 27 Apr 2009 01:02:15 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:227501</guid><dc:creator>Clive</dc:creator><slash:comments>5</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/NoPaysAttentionPunctuationMarks/cmzrk/post.htm#227501</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-227501.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>Hi guys,
