It's always better to play it cool than to play it like a year-old writing YouTube comments. But be careful. Exclamation points are the most abused piece of punctuation in our world today. When you start overusing exclamation points, you look like an amateur:. Sounds good! Not sure if we're going but I might see you at the party! The first exclamation point is OK And when in doubt, get rid of the exclamation point.
No one uses semicolons in day-to-day casual writing; it's a literary piece of punctuation, not a colloquial one. So using a semicolon in a text shows you've thought out, revised, and overedited your message. That means you're trying too hard, and there's nothing worse than trying too hard. A semicolon in a text message is the equivalent of putting on makeup to go to the gym. In text land, apostrophes have become endangered species. Youd is just as acceptable at you'd.
Id is just as acceptable as I'd. Youre is just as acceptable as you're. Or, on the Internet, your. So when you actually take the time to use an apostrophe, it means something.

Warning: Computer programming joke ahead. Little do they know I'm plotting my elaborate revenge on them. And there's really only one reason to censor a swear word: if you're afraid the person's not as cool as you. Because if they were, they'd run around dropping f-bombs and c-bombs and f'd-in-the-a-with-your-own-d-bombs without the censorship. So asterisks imply that you don't think that person likes it raw, like you and ODB. If you use the plus sign in lieu of the word "and" or an ampersand, it's your subconscious telling you that you really like the person.
When couples carve their names into trees, they use a plus sign between them. July January To others, the Big D may bring something very different to mind. In black slang, D has been a euphemistic slang shortening for dick , as in the penis, since at least For this initialism , consider fuck being shortened to the F-word or calling someone a B , or bitch.
D typically appears as the D , frequently touted by men —and yes, also as longed for by their partners, especially women —as an object of desire and agent of satisfaction, as in She wants the D or I want the D. Variations on the phrase, mainly she wants the D shortened either due to slang or euphemism , went viral, with people creating everything from YouTube videos to visual puns on letter D e. These were all crass, absurdist ways of men joking about women they felt, well, wanted the D.
The D is a familiar nickname for Detroit, appearing on everything from Detroit-proud clothing to local establishment names to website articles about goings-on in Motor City. The D , as slang for dick or sex more generally, is found heavily in black slang and hip-hop lyrics, whose influence on popular culture have helped the D spread into more mainstream use.
