This really does need to be swapped with it's redirect.

Note also that NEARLY THE WHOLE PAGE IS IN ALL CAPS AND/OR BOLD, WHICH IS IN NO WAY EASY ON THE EYES.

Or alternatively, a self-demonstrating version of its redirect, like "Punctuated! Emphasis!"

Come to think of it, I like Punctuated! For! Emphasis! a lot better than simply Punctuated Emphasis.

[up] That's a REALLY good suggestion. The first time I came across Punctuated Pounding (or was potholed to it) I thought it was something of the same as Punctuated Emphasis (obviously I found it wasn't after reading the article, but I digress), but Punctuated! For! Emphasis! is exactly what this trope is about.

It was either a penguin or a panda, but the choice is far less black and white than you would think!

Does anyone else have a major problem with the 'normal room talking voice' examples? When I think THIS! IS! SPARTA! i think of it said in Gerard Butler's tone, not Christian Bale's. I'm more all for a culling/split whereupon TIS only for the bellowing-from-the-mountaintop. If the meming is such a problem perhaps changing it to one of the earliest examples.

[up]I don't think there's any real difference between the two besides volume. Not splitworthy.

The crowner's been up for a while now. I think we have a consensus.

+23 (yeas:33 nays:10) 3.30 : 1 Rename (or swap for a redirect) This! Is! SPARTA!?

It does look that way. Crowner locked, let's move on to the next question: What to rename it to?

Someone make a Special Efforts thread for cleaning up wicks, and this can be locked.
