Oh! Wait! Chessic is saying that he doesn’t believe it happens that when people are over reacting in a post that they do the whole “!!!111111” thing. Look, yes. People do. I have done it myself when I am over reacting to something. “Hey, our boss just gave us all a huge bonus for our work on that project.” “Word!!!1111” It is just a matter of releasing the shift button a bit early. Then, when folks mock that over-reaction, they made layer it on for hyperbole effect: “111oneeeeleventy11!!!” ---

Perhaps we could change it to !!!Bilbosbirthday111111. ---

Another meme that’s starting to really annoy me is people complaining about internet memes. Maybe I should start a pit thread complaining about that. ---

I wonder if one reason "1"s are mixed with "!"s is due to poor eyesight. I have a friend in that category, and he regularly uses “,” instead of “…” as an elipsis since he can’t tell the difference on the screen or on the keyboard. ---

No. I only express outrage about completely trivial and inconsequential things. And I do it _just to piss you off_. > [@Vinyl Turnip](#): > > I guess I “get” it, but I can’t share the outrage because I don’t think I’ve seen anyone use it prior to this thread. Is this really a widespread phenomenon? Are you fucking with me? [Here.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=11348964&postcount=2) [Also here.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=11670185&postcount=101) [Also here.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=7694894&postcount=51) [Also here.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=13614884&postcount=36) Those are just the first few results that came up in a Google search for “eleventy,” because that’s easier to search for than “!!1111one11!!” which is actually a lot more common. I’m not really that exercised about this but I do have to question whether those of you saying that you have never, ever seen this before are participating on the same Internet I am. ---

I find use of “!!!11!!one!1” VASTLY preferable to seemingly RANDOM use of CAPITALIZATIONS in posts by people who CANNOT seem to MASTER the use of _italics_ or otherwise EMPHASIZE certain points that are just unbelievably IMPORTANT, without the goddamned CAPS. ---

Whee doggy, somebody didn’t get their nap. Seriously, the meme is boring and puerile, but pitting it seems just a little extreme. ---
