I have a mini rant.

Just like spelling, some folks just aren't as gifted at writing. Sorry it is painful for you to read those posts. I think threads like this scare people off, and they just won't post, so as not to offend with their poor grammatical skills.

Actually, all it takes is a little bit of self editing.....Read it back to yourself, out loud....If you say, "What the ----" you probably ought to put in a comma or two.

If it bothers you, then just move on.

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!!!

Anytime I open a thread and see one super long paragraph I don't even attempt to read it. I just push the back button

Deb, when I opened your thread and began reading, I started wondering where the rant was!

But then I got it. Sometimes it can get pretty annoying... I try to read as much as possible (if it's really important or I'm really interested), but a lot of the time it's not feasible (for me). I'll read it and/or skim it just enough to get the basic idea.

Actually the grammar and mis-spellings don't both me near as much as trying to use a ruler on my monitor.

To each their own. If someone is scared off from posting because I asked to please break out paragraphs, there is more than meets the surface going on.

Don't you know that correcting someone's written grammar just isn't PC. It is up to the person receiving the message to properly interpret what's being said.

I said NOTHING about grammar!!!!

Because maybe they are asking for help and I WILL muddle through it. I choose not to move on, if I can help at all.

Good grief. A mini-rant was all this was.

Well Debi, I would say some people just love to disagree no matter what is said.
