    Thank Gosh for this Thread!!

    I would also like to add, The <ENTER> key is your friend. Use it to separate your thoughts, and also to keep my eyes from spinning in circles when trying to read your post.

    AND....Since we are at it, the first letter of a sentence is ALWAYS capitalized. AND....There is usually a space after the period but before the first word in a sentence.....

    Makes it soo much easier to read.:D
     
    Big Don Thanks this.

    Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

    Maybe that's their theory? :biggrin_2554:

    Easy now . Don't put too much on them at once . You actually think some of them have more than 1 thought per post ????

    Let's hear a big AMEN BROTHER on the <ENTER> key! I have gotten to the point that if a long drawn out post is not broken up so that it can be easily read, I just don't bother with it.

    I know that I probably miss a lot of good information this way, but it is just too hard on these old eyes, and way too frustrating to mess with.

    The problem with this theory is that those of whom we speak have spelling/punctuation/grammar issues don't use that pattern. In fact, there is no discernable pattern and typically resembles gibberish. I blame texting, in part.

    I agree completely. Many times the lack of sentence structure and punctuation is directly associated with texting habits in todays society.

    Actually it's 2 spaces after a period not 1!
