An explanation mark is a boyfriend who explains wrestling to his girlfriend too much.

Sometimes I use “ as “explanation” marks. Sometimes I use () as (explanation) marks. Sometimes I use _ as explanation marks.
Sometimes I don’t use shite and just keep ‘em guessin’

The text age has really put punctuation in the spotlight. Texts are intended to be written conversationally which really necessitates a mark between exclamation and period. You're not the only one who struggles with this.

I admit that i do it. I also tend to end everything with ellipsis...

Not professional or work text, but just casual text. I have no idea where I've picked it up at but I have done it since I've been texting...

Are you not familiar with what punctuation marks are used for?
