I'm seriously now checking every text and email that I've ever sent you to see whether this crime has been committed.

Probably.

Hahahah!  If you did it, I didn't notice and/or it didn't bother me at all, so you're in the clear.

I love using a period after something that kind of calls for an exclamation point. It makes me think of the Office episode where Dwight puts up the sign for Kelly that says, "IT IS YOUR BIRTHDAY." And I chuckle.

And..........?

When I try to curtail my ellipsis abuse, it just makes me rely too heavily on dashes--see? I'm an asshole with dashes.

This is exactly me.  I think I use the elipses or dashes to imply a pause.  I didn't even realize it was annoying until ML.  I'm trying to stop!

I'm trying to quit! I promise!!!!

I love ellipses more than I should.

Sorry, @weeble!

Guilty...

I also use ellipses more than I should. And if I try to stop they often turn into dashes. I think I use it as a pause, and (normally) don't mean anything in sarcastic way. Sometimes they signfy me sighing. I also have problems writing short sentenances if I don't think about it.

Basically, my grammar and writing style is horrible.

One of my bosses does this. It's terrible. TERRIBLE. Sometimes he does it on every sentence. I had to have an intervention a few months ago, but they are creeping back. It is also contagious, because I noticed a few of the guys that work for him doing the same.

Disclaimer: one set, here or there, fine, but 99% of the time you can just put a period.

I do this all the time but now that I see it angers so many I will do my very best to stop.

A well placed ellipse is magic. Unfortunately most times they're not well placed but abused instead.

HEY.

Oh, I am guilty. Oh well.

Sometimes I feel like my thoughts require a pause. I do it all the time....and I don't plan on stopping. I DO WHAT I WANT!
