    Sure.

    Always make sure to put a period at the end of every sequence, and when there are two different visual causes, separate them with a comma, dash or semicolon.

    If there’s a visual list use a colon.

    Easy.

    Commas and Semi Colons? How am I meant to do this visually though?

    Are you serious?

    The post was a knock at pomposity and narcissitic idiocy. There is no such thing as visual punctuation. It’s BS.

    Look, Man. Why not do it yourself? Create your own style. If you’re green the skills will happen. Trust yourself.

    Notthing wrong with doing your homework first, if I went for a paid job and did what “felt right” you would get blacklisted within a week, imo.

    I cut to broll when wanting to see what is being talked about and I go to talking head when I don’t have b-roll or to introduce em. The only person who wants to watch a talking head is the head who was talkin’.

    Who micturated in your bowl of bran flakes, Tony?

    Pedantic, yes. I’ll cop to that. Didactic even, sometimes, but not really condescending; he wanted it simple, I tried to keep it simple. If you knew me you wouldn’t call me pompous.

    But you’re being rude here by making personal insults, and we don’t play that here.
