Punctuation and paragraphs

Recommended Posts

Ever notice on some posts how the words just seem to run together and it can get real hard to read the whole post cuz there's never any break in the action... I sure have noticed this and it bugs the hell out of me, I know I'm missing out on some interesting and/or controversial when I ignore these kind of posts but damn! they're just too hard to read, I mean c'mon I'm an impatient skydiver, I have ADD, add some punctuation or at least turn the big long series of words into smaller blocks of series of words - also known as paragraphs - so it's easier to figure out what you're trying to say.

Okay?

and dont forget capitalization either lisa. combined with improper or completely missing punctuation it can make it very difficult to follow the flow of paragraph or not a paragraph technically but sometimes just a jumbled mess of words and things that dont make any sense. i had hamburger helper for dinner tonight how about you did you like it i did.

Edit: Removed a comma that certainly doesn't belong in this post. :P

I am not a big fan of the semicolon. I don't have many good feelings about any colon, to be honest. The semicolon can't make up it's mind when used to separate a thought. Its stronger than a comma, but weaker than a period. I like the comma and the period better. Which brings me to wonder, does a woman in a coma still have her period and does her colon still work?

Nevermind; I am gonna go watch my video of Rocketman flying around Spinnakers and that entire bigway of fun jumpers landing downwind (cept the birdman:D). Oh the carnage...

that, and ice berg is actually one word spelled I-C-E-B-U-R-G.

I'm not sure where you were going with come, cum and comb, but stick with that; I liked it.;)

Well, here in Nebraska with all the red meat I eat, I need the whole colon. I mean, with a semi colon there is sure to be some blockage...

Yeah peeps thats what im talkin bout see all that just makes a girl crazy sometimes ya know? I mean i dont mind deciphering jasons posts cuz everyone knows you gotta hear what the guy holdin the laser wants to tell ya and i didn't usedta mind deciphering that aussie kids posts cuz he made me laugh a lot so it was all okay. but when im trying to read a thread at work and the phone is ringing and my coworker is asking me a question and the boss is breathin down my neck well thats the time that paragraphs n sentences n punctuation and stuff are real appreciated cuz i can answer the phone or the question or get the boss off my back and be able to go right back where i was on the post cuz its broken up into paragraphs making it easy to find my place after being so rudely interrupted.

I think I've used one; no, I'm sure I have.
