I found this punctuation mark quiz at raincoaster‘s earlier this week. I was going to post this as part of a bigger list today, but my list was getting out of hand. So decided to pop it up now. (From the train. Hah! My commuter train now has free wireless.)
I am a question mark.

You Are a Question Mark |
 You seek knowledge and insight in every form possible. You love learning. And while you know a lot, you don’t act like a know it all. You’re open to learning you’re wrong. You ask a lot of questions, collect a lot of data, and always dig deep to find out more. Your friends see you as interesting, insightful, and thought provoking. You excel in: Higher education You get along best with: The Comma |
I’m quite amused to see that I excel in higher education. I wonder if such excellence is measured in terms of years spent pursuing degrees. ‘Cause I’m getting quite a few years under my belt. The bit about collecting lots o’ data is…um…right on the mark.
So, do you dare to try the quiz? Who will get the dreaded colon?

Hmm…I’m a comma too. Thanks for another cool link!
Er… it would seem that I’m a colon! (Not all that bad, actually, as explained in the poll results!) ;b
I’m a question mark, too. Why do I enjoy these quizzes so, LOL.
i seem to be a comma. is that why i like you?
These quizzes are amusing…
I’m a colon, apparently. :)
i’m an exclamation point, which makes sense, seeing as how I used to wear a button that said “I’m subject to bursts of enthusiasm”
i did find, however, on the “people annoy you when…” question that I wanted to answer “all of the above”
Oh, for asssakes, I’m a colon.
Den makes me laugh. I like thinking of you writing this on a commuter train.
Turns out I’m a semi-colon … and the description from the quiz is flattering enough but … semi-colon? Just sounds so, you know, half-assed!
I’m a semi-colon too…
i’m a question mark, too.
i feel more like an elipse, though since i never seem to finish anything these days…
I’m a semicolon. I’m not sure exactly what that means, however I sort of suspected I would be for some reason.
“…asssakes, I’m a colon”…whoa!
Me too, but a small one… semicolon!
averagebean-
I guess we’ll get along well, then!
YTSL-
I’m sure it’s not as bad as it sounds…
Julie-
Some quizzes are fun. Though I have run into more than a few that were just stupid.
magpie-
Yes, that must explain why we like each other.
dragonfly-
Glad to offer amusement. And I guess that as a colon, you are eyes for a smiley emoticon.
painted-
Aha! And yeah, it was a bit hard to pick from the list of annoyances.
Denguy-
You crack me up.
jen-
Yeah, he’s pretty funny. And it is pretty cool being online on the train. Though it’s a trial service, and a bit spottty.
girlgriot-
Semi-colon…half-assed…hehehe…Thanks for dropping in!
azahar-
Oh, elegant is nice. And thanks for dropping in the full text.
maja-
You know what’s funny? I considered making a a similar ellipses joke, too…
morethananelectrician-
So is that like being a little bit of an…? Oh, never mind.
