What. :hmm:

It makes sense to me. some people, for example, feel the need to do weird things like put spaces after each sentence ! it gets a bit irritating as it is harder to read . Plus, they use abbreviations and other "techniques" to speed typing which are generally acceptable on text messages, but not on an online forum . there is also quite a bit of run on sentences, malapropisms, and other weird things that just don't make sense, often instead of making a new sentence or putting a semicolon they just keep going on and it get's even harder to read, not to mention a lack of paragraphing and use of many commas or periods as though that stretched out the length of a pause as an ellipsis (...) might,,,,,,, and don't get me started on homophones like peak/peek/pique or their/they're/there or your/you're............

It makes things tough for those of us that expected English and got madness.

I hate pre.

It's impossible to do something before doing it.

...some people, for example, feel the need to do weird things like put spaces after each sentence ! it gets a bit irritating as it is harder to read...

Guilty as charged, though it's odd for me to read that criticism, as I often find reading on a glowing screen difficult, and that the spaces tend to ease the chore for me. Now I know someone feels exactly the opposite, a somewhat jarring realization...

這是美國，請用英文。

I never realized anyone would think differently! For me, the difference between a screen and a book is pretty minimal, and I'm very used to have the punctuation right after the sentence.

Oh, I do tend to be a stickler for proper punctuation, but to me the forum format lends itself to concision, brevity, and a space after each idea or paragraph, whichever comes first. Hopefully if I keep to a tight sentence structure with better than average speeling and punctuation; I can be forgiven some extraneous line breaks...*&%#

[wpcoe]

What annoys me more than non-proper punctuation, misspelling or bad grammar, is use of "nicknames" like "Sammy" for "Samsung". That sounds childlike and inappropriate for a (semi?) professional forum like this.
