> [@](#): > > Its annoying, so stop it, sure its a nice feature, but please, lets not over do it. Wanna know what else is a nice feature? The apostrophe (ā€™). Ever looked into it? Thereā€™s something else, thatā€™s annoying, itā€™s an over use of punctuation, particularly the comma, like in the quoted sentence. But hey, thanks for the advice.
