Many people posting on here appear to need this. I have plenty, so I will share with anyone who needs it!

There. It's a big chunk of spaces and line breaks! You can use these to end paragraphs, begin new sentences and even change the thoughts you are trying to communicate!

But wait! There's more! Take advantage of this one time offer and I will throw in the complete set of standard English punctuation!

, . ? ! & ( ) : " ; '

And if you order in the next 5 minutes, I will show you how to disable the CAPS LOCK KEY!

All joking aside, I realize this is a web forum and it is meant to be more casual and laid back, but if you put just a little effort into making your posts easier to read, you will not only get more replies to your threads, you will most likely get better replies as well.

i am aware that i have issues/problems with grammar etc :o

spelling mistakes :(

my spell check only underlines where i make a mistake

i keep good ol' Webster at my side

sometimes i still can't find correct spelling :mellow:

posts are too long :angry:

I write, and write, and then i write some more

i could easily have answered question with one word like YES or NO

when my sentence is getting long

i make a break in my words earlier than i should

then write the rest of my thought

on the next line

(i think it can be read easier)

too many blank spaces between thoughts :(

too many smileys :huh:

i make (attempt :huh: ) to crack silly jokes

"I made a mistake once, i thought i was wrong :lol:"

I am not perfect - then again......... :lol:

i am still as cute as a button :lol:

Please, someone come to my husband's family Xmas and set him straight. My father-in-law's first language is redneck. Not only can he not spell, he spends the entire evening telling dirty and racist jokes to women relatives he hasn't seen in a year, from ages 13 to 70.

I would be having Christmas without my father in law. Why put up with that crap?

Not too rein on the party,but their has too be whey for them to here what were saying.

You're trying to give me an apoplexy, aren't you?

If anyone knows how delete this forums, I would if I knew how. It is a total waste of people's time and energy.

Why? It was placed in the "Rants and Raves" forum.

If someone doesn't want to read through 7 pages (and counting) of posts, they don't have to.

It is refreshing as compared to reading about "Is a 3 week stall normal", "Can I eat solid foods at 2 weeks" or any similar posts 2 or 3 hundred times. That info is already there if someone searched for it, but I am glad people post those questions. If someone doesn't want to read that for the 201st or 301st time, they don't have to.

So we should start deciding which of this forum's thousands of posts are "a total waste of people's time and energy" so we can delete them all? That should be a fun game.

Man, I don't even know where to start on that one. There is a dangling participle and a possessive form of "forums" even though they are talking about a forum post. The there is the fact they are talking about censoring a rant.

The way I see it; when the forum founder likes the original post in a thread, perhaps it has merit?

Are you referring to my post? The possessive form of "forum" was correct. I was writing about this particular forum's thousands of posts (i.e., the thousands of posts on bariatricpal.com). I was also pointing out how ridiculous it would be to censor a rant. Was that not obvious? As for the dangling participle, I suppose I give more f***s than others when posting here, but certainly not an unlimited number.

lol, that is awesome. I am going to start using that one!

LOL!

So I could go into the moderator's forum and ask to have this thread closed. Is that what you want?

Not really.

okay then continue to be mean to each other, and realize at the same time, it's against the terms of service here.
