I caught on to this a long time ago and is why I generally don't place a punctuation mark on the end of my sentences when communicating informally; you might have noticed that I almost never use periods when making a one sentence response to something on the forum

Did you intentionally use a semicolon so that your post would be a single sentence? Wink

caught me Sad

...which means that we're not particularly interested in this article, because it's just about orthography Wink

wikipedia says orthography is a branch of linguistics so...
that's really not true at all, I guess experts on historical orthography must be lumped in with some larger field though, and linguistics obviously makes more sense than literature or whatev

Yeah; I mean, it's cool we make some scribbles that our brain then interprets in light of language, but, meh...
