#ZERO PUNCTUATION BROKEN AGE MANUAL#

In the beginning it was because the low-quality paper stock would render any small marks, like periods or commas, invisible or illegible. A rather unusual characteristic of comic books from The Silver Age of Comic Books and forward, particularly those from DC Comics (although Marvel got in its share in 1971), is a complete lack of any punctuation other than exclamation points and question marks.Or else! They will end every sentence the same way! With an exclamation mark! Even when it makes no sense! And when it reduces the impact of sentences that had an exclamation mark in Japanese! Given that periods are not required in written Japanese, a lot of scanlations are prone to this.The subtitles on the Spirited Away DVD never have periods - unless they have ellipses, exclamation or question marks, it's nothing.Exclamation points and question marks seem to stay in, however. A disturbing trend, in Naruto fanfiction at least, is for all punctuation to be correct except for the complete exclusion of periods in speaking sentences, despite periods being everywhere else.Sometimes, though, No Punctuation Is Funnier. Related to Wanton Cruelty to the Common Comma. Has absolutely nothing to do with No Periods, Period or Zero Punctuation. Often goes hand in hand with All Lowercase Letters. There are a few havens of good style, some brave netizens Tropers among them, who have taken up arms to fight back the scourge of illiteracy. Sadly, this happens outside of Fan Fics too, as many Tropers could tell you. Taken to extremes it can result in a visual Wall of Text, thus adding to its unreadability. So youve found what seems to be a good Fanfic I mean you havent started reading it yet but its got a good description and better yet your OTP is in it Of course you have to read it thusly you click on it and beg wait um what is this where are the periods the question marks exclamation points Oh god no commas or colons no no NOOOOOOOOooooooĪlas, you've just stumbled into a relic of the No Punctuation Period, a horrible time in which people apparently forgot how sentences were built. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE.

THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. All new trope pages will be made with the 'Trope Workshop' found on the 'Troper Tools' menu and worked on until they have at least three examples.Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup.

All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the 'fair use' licensing to an image may have it deleted.

Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so.
