Is it really that MUCH trouble!?

[MrsKarenC2008 622]

I'm not normally the type to vent in public ... but I can't stand it anymore ...

I have read posts on here in the past where someone will vent about the way people type their posts ... I always just read past it ...

BUT ...

I have read a post in another section that literally didn't have the first punctuation mark in it ... and it was one huge paragraph ...

made it VERY hard to read and even understand the person ...

Ugh.

Sorry. Had to vent.

I agree completely. Punctuation and formatting are our friends.

I just don't read them.

and there are times when a wrong word (or spelling) is used and it takes me FOREVER to figure out what they are really trying to say. - sometimes I just skip over them. which makes me kind of sad, because they probably need the interaction - but there is only so much I can do. and yes, I get that English is not everyone's first language, but hey, this is what it is. I try. they try. sometimes, meh. it's not enough.

What I hate is when their subjects lines don't match the content of their posts.

If I go into a post and there's no punctuation and it's all one big wall of text, I just don't bother trying to slog through it.

Sometimes spammers will post on this website. I believe some of this is computer generated spam, that is why it doesn't make any sense. Generally these threads are from a first time poster and have a link in them.

I'm not paid enough to read every post and gaily skip by quite a few. When a post makes an unreasonable demand of my time, I pass.

One of my bêtes noires is a post title in the screen-right list that gives no clue to the subject. I just about have myself completely trained not to clik on "A Question" and similar items. I say "just about," otherwise, I wouldn't have come into this topic. @@Christinamo7, some misspellings are deliberate to circumvent the infernal, blue ad links and censorship. I don't see that the latter would bedevil anyone.

I do entertain myself now and then by inventing words. And tossing in a sentence fragment. Never shall I apologize. Except to e e cummings on behalf of y'all.

I almost went in to edit it and add a few paragraphs but there wasn't enough time in the world.

Oh boy we had an EPIC thread about this very subject about a year or so ago.

[BigViffer 3,544]

@@Babbs I have no idea what you are talking about...

I still get a chuckle out of this thread.
