I've also heard good things about that Katherine Heigl movie Falling in Love Is Neat*. Using ellipses in a text is your way of saying what you either can't say yet (because it'd fall under the "too soon" umbrella), or what you are afraid to say (because you're afraid you'll seem disagreeable or high maintenance). *prize may be substituted for firm handshake or one turn at claw game." Save the asterisks for funny usage, something like this: "I bet you $65,000* that I am a better bowler than you. So asterisks imply that you don't think that person likes it raw, like you (and ODB). 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. Little do they know I'm plotting my elaborate revenge on them."Īnd there's really only one reason to censor a swear word: if you're afraid the person's not as cool as you. The main reason people use asterisks in a text is to censor a word, for example: "I like deep-fried sandwiches so my friends call me the C*** of Monte Cristo. Meaning: You're afraid the person isn't as cool as you. Warning: Computer programming joke ahead. Either way, they're looking at the current romantic situation very, very logically. In my experience, no one uses the left and right braces unless they're a math guy or computer programmer. Meaning: You're approaching this too logically. And that effort hints that you'd be a real hard-working giver in a relationship - or at least into one extremely memorable sexual escapade. I like to think it sends a subconscious message that you take the extra time to do things right. So when you actually take the time to use an apostrophe, it means something.
