So, opening email:

Quote:

The longest run-on sentence in English is in the English translation of Les Miserables, which is some 823 words long. Unlike the mugu's effort, it is grammatically correct and conveys useful information.

I would suggest just typing back to him normally -- just don't type any periods. Or commas. Ever.

Looks like you just answered your own question, metamit. Remember -- we're here to waste the lads' time and not vice versa.

If you want to have fun with the lad, either remove the punctuation from your own responses, or over-punctuate the hell out of your emails.

/\/\/\ I like the over-punctuation idea.

It - would, be extremely, fraudstrating. for most folks- to read an 'email which' someone decided! to : punctate "at" random? but in (all likelihood) your, lad would. probably not: notice. Laughing

Yeah, I thought about the punctuation too. I'm gonna sit on it another day and see if I feel like wasting time later LOL
