Does this bother anyone else?

[Tigger&Belle]

Sometimes I skim through the long posts and other times I really read them, but back to the paragraphs. If I'm going to really read them, they make all the difference. I can't comprehend the long posts without them. It's all mumbo-jumbo otherwise.

Sorry.

I do that b/c my thoughts run together. Sometimes I have time to edit it and sometimes I don't.

I tend to type the way I speak and I am a very loquacious (sp?) person.

If I want to sound smart--i am more careful. (oops--just did it LOL! Guess I'm not trying to be smart right now.)

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

I agree...it's the paragraphs that are important.

I do as well.

Now what is an ellipses?

 

[Aidensmom]

There are very few posts I find hard to read, and I just skip them if I can't understand them.

Bad grammar, spelling, and puncuation bother me in formal writing, but not at all on a message board.

 

[caitycaity]

with the lack of capitalization coming in close behind.

apologies.

i usually type with one hand at work since i am generally multitasking, hence the lack of capitalization.

Guilty as charged... Feel free to skip over any and all of my posts..

If I knew we were going to be graded here, I might try harder.. Then again, maybe not..

 

[mickeymousemom]

Guilty here too...what bothers me are the run-on sentences and nonusage(is that a word??) of paragraphs...I use ellipses all the time....I will continue to use them. Love 'em......love 'em....

 

[ktpool]

Guilty too...then don't read my posts - I guess that is why then God made the "Ignore" button!

Oh my, this post must be driving someone crazy

 

[shortbun]

None of it bothers me. It's the content I'm after. I use.... I do not make paragraphs. If you can't read it just because it's not broken up or indented... sometimes I don't capitalize or use punctuation
I don't like words used incorrectly like then and than. I just notice it but I keep on reading...like I hope you are now. Where exactly do you want me to put the paragraph break? I think you make a new paragraph when the topic changes.

It's not difficult to read in something a few lines long(like yours). I'm talking about something that's 10-15 lines long of straight text and it's hard at least for me to keep my place. You know what they say...the eyes are the second thing to go!

 

[YourMajesty]

ellipsis...how many learned a new word out of this thread...I'm usually thinking...yada yada yada...or maybe dot dot dot
