Rag's,

Ah, ye's. The greengrocer's apostrophe. As the daughter of a former English teacher, drive's me nut's too!

But what can we do? Ti's all around!

(Misplaced apostrophe's on purpose, yo -- so hater's, stop the hatin'!.)

Peace.

(This has pained me to type it, BELIEVE me.)

On the scheme of things.... does it REALLY matter?

Maybe, support & understanding are a little more important.

I don't comment on it either 'coz of the potential fragility of the perpetrators - but one huge paragraph confuses the heck out of my small brain too.

I know the yoof of today think "gramma don't matta innit?" - but it kind of helps if you actually want to communicate.

And - apostrophe's - AAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!

Love

Geeez Satori .... don't make me hand out any more of those huggy thingies today.

Thank you. From the bottom of my tiny brain.

Here's a bunch of apostrophes for all. Use them at will.

I can't read them either. I start mushing the words together and reading the same lines over and over.
Power to the paragraphs!

ahhh...yet another side to Satori! Have to admit, I'm a bit shocked!

Oh and the word perpetrator...was once admonished at work for using it, was told it had criminal connotations.

And as for this thread, to expose your disdain for the writing style (or lack there of) of any of us poor souls out here looking for compassion is sounding rather snobbish, in my humble opinion.

I know I will think twice before posting anything here in the future.

Oh and is this enough paragraphs for each of you?

We all have our "things". Pet peeves, etc. I think KathieH is entitled to her opinion.

I must admit I'm an avid reader and when big posts come up w/not much paragraphs, I skim. So learn to skim, folks!

It is hard to be the perfect one on this site.........:H

So sorry about the big paragraphs. So sorry about the big paragraphs. So sorry about the big paragraphs. So sorry about the big paragraphs. So sorry about the big paragraphs. So sorry about the big paragraphs. So sorry about the big paragraphs. So sorry about the big paragraphs. So sorry about the big paragraphs. So sorry about the big paragraphs. So sorry about the big paragraphs. So sorry about the big paragraphs. So sorry about the big paragraphs. So sorry about the big paragraphs. So sorry about the big paragraphs. So sorry about the big paragraphs. So sorry about the big paragraphs. So sorry about the big paragraphs. So sorry about the big paragraphs. So sorry about the big paragraphs. So sorry about the big paragraphs. So sorry about the big paragraphs. So sorry about the big paragraphs.

You should know by now that most of my posting is done with tongue firmly in cheek!
I chose the term perpetrator deliberately in an attempt to imply criminality as an obviously misguided attempt at levity.

Please - post away in as few paragraphs and sentences as you like, but, as I stated, I do personally find it difficult to read.

As for apostrophes shoved in anywhere and everywhere - I find that irritating because incorrect use of punctuation makes the passage difficult to understand.

I trust I am entitled to hold an opinion.

You will notice I didn't actually tell anyone to do anything different to what they do normally, and in no way implied or stated my disdain for anyone

It's a free world! .....Isn't it?

Love

I really wasn't going to post to this thread. I figured perhaps I would seem petty to be offended, or perhaps expose myself as one of the less educated, who might write on going paragraphs sans indentations.

My concern is that, honestly, there may be some people who are hurting, drunk, fucked up, etc, who want to vent, need to vent, need support. Are we/they supposed to worry about having their writing skills critiqued? In a place where I believed even my absolute idiocy about having the inability to control my drinking wouldn't be judged, I now realise even my writing skills, or lack thereof, may be?

Sorry, just my opinion. That and 1.50 will buy you a cup of coffee.

I don't know Keeta, is that a regular cup of coffee? Hon u will not be judged for your writing style, I don't believe judgement is coming into this at all. Just the thought that some people can't read posts that don't have breaks. If anything they are admitting THEY have a problem. So, don't u worry about ur posting. :l

[satori]

Something that bugs me

I totally agree Keeta,

I expressed my opinion - but most here know that I DO make the attempt to read and respond appropriately to posts written in any style whatsoever.

Not quite sure what I did wrong TBH but hey - its forgotten - life is too short!

satori,

you didn't do anything wrong!...and I agree, life IS too short. I just had to post because I know sometimes the silliest/stupidest things can make "me" feel insecure...

Love and hugs,

yes, I am often annoyed by writing here that is just one big long paragraph and all the words are jumbled together. It makes it very difficult to understand what is being said.
All it takes is a little bit of time to check your writing before posting.

I understand that some people here write as if they were speaking and sometimes people post when they have been drinking, but it really does get a point across when you check your posts and correct spelling and punctuation errors.
