Okay, this may be minor, but it bothers me.

There are some people on these boards who refuse to use real punctuation...... they only use leaders between sentences, like this.........It's really hard for me to take their posts seriously! C'mon! Use a period or a question mark once in a while!

Anyone else annoyed by this, or am I just extremely picky? :blush:
 
Personally I like using ellipses from time-to-time. I get tired of commas and dashes. :teeth:

Yes, it really bothers me. Especially if they are prolifically posting on a thread. I really, really, really want to read what they have to say but it gets very difficult at times.
 
Especially when they don't break a long post up into paragraphs. Makes it very hard to read.
 

nope, doesn't bother me at all
 
I like using the occasional ellipses as well. I do use other forms of punctuation though, and more importantly - I use paragraphs! I'd much rather read someone's post with weird usage of punctuation than one who refused to use paragraphs.
 
I agree...it's the paragraphs that are important.
 
i'm sorry but I am not sure what you are talking about.... if you are talking about what i think you are talking about i would never do that.... i like to make my posts easy to read and to the point... its important to take posting on the dis seriously so that everyone can be serious you know what i mean....
 
I'm more concerned with paragraphs too. A lot of times I skip posts that are just one big paragraph.

I do this....sometimes, but I also use punctuation, so I hope I'm not the one you're talking about.

And I agree and I know I've said it before, but use paragraph breaks, even if it's not really a correct place for a paragraph. Put one in, anyway! Otherwise it's too hard to read and I tend to skip over the post.

I will use them if I am quoting someone here and I am eliminating part of the quote, either as not being overly material to my reply or just too wording and not germane to my thought.

If I come upon a post that has a lot of them, I most often will just close it without reading, same as a post without punctuation and/or a lengthy post with no paragraphing. My eyes are too old for that, LOL.
 
The thing that really bugs me is when people feel the need to put everything in a huge font. Makes me think they're yelling.
