    Mine is the semi colon. I like the way it is composed of two parts, and the bottom part kind of swerves out. giggles blush etc.

    Look at this sexy semi colon

    LOL (a lot) !

    my very favourite is the "forward slash", or "oblique" as I believe it is formally known.

    get this one for a ton of oblique
    / thats a beautiful sight isnt it? I think people should come to hip forums instead of going on holiday, just so they can see your awesome semi-colon
    and my beautiful forward-slash

    That sounds like a wonderful idea. We've been inundated by so many creative writing students from across the pond lately that the influence of their contribution has rubbed off on me. I'm already thinking of starting another thread soon entitled "What's Your Favourite Roman Numeral?" Very handy if you want to make your chapters look posh. My favourite Roman numeral happens to be:
    XCIV,
    which also happens to be the number of years that pointless threads about irrelevant subjects such as endless lists of favourite things seem to last thanks to some American students's high enthusiasm, or low comprehension.

    One more thing before I sign off, here's another glimpse of a semi-colon

    The hyphen. So useful. So simplistic it's beautiful.

    The semicolon is my runner up, though.

    Veroness, I hope you realize that this thread is ironic. You probably do, but I'm just checking to make sure.

    Dude that en Dash is FUCIN AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!

    My favourite is the ampersand &
    especially when it is huge like this and a different colour &
    mainly because it looks like monkey playing with its cock, or havin a shit.
    My second favorite is the % sign like this
    % because it makes me think of Kate Moss's tits with pete doherty's cock between them

    I couldn't help but notice your thread there.. So I thought I'd come and post.
    My favorite punctuation mark is a question mark
    ?

    Did I, by any chance inspire this thread? Just curious...........

    Semi-colons and question marks are pretty great.

    My other favourite is the hash sign, not because it reminds me of hash and getting high but because it reminds me of a snatch. It is the most minge-like of all the punctuation
    (like a fanny thats had a bit of a brazillian hairdo)

    Does anyone know which punctuation marks are favoured by Ross Kemp, or the legendary Chuck Norris?

    Without researching it I am of the belief that Ross would choose this one
    ¦in that colour because even though pink is gay he would choose it to prove that he's not gay if you see what I mean. Also similarly I think Chuck Norris would choose this one =simply because he probably doesnt know what it means and wonders if its a mystical god symbol
