Paragraphs, people, paragraphs!

[salmoneous]

Paragraphs and grammar. These are two of my pet peeves in reading these boards.

Oh, and note to the OP, I believe what you are asking for is spacing, not paragraphs. Paragraphs tend to have more than 1-2 sentences

This is my biggest message board pet peeve. I can tolerate the lack of puncuation, grammar errors and bad spelling. But, if I see one long paragraph, I skip it. I read a post once that actually had paragraphs in them, the poster just didn't skip a line between them.

ITA, I feel like my head is going to explode when I try to read some posts.


Not a fan of tiny type or colored text either.

I'm going to throw out some of these ,,,,,,,, and some of these ....... while we're at it, just in case anyone needs a few extra.

HEY!!!!!! I take that personally. I happen to be one of those people that ....... sometimes just to put a space between one thought and another. I guess I should be happy though. I at least capitalize when needed, don't post in all caps, and try my best to seperate my posts into paragraphs.

I can't read the ones that are done in a light color. In order to read them, I have to mouse over them to change the color. It's not worth the trouble.
