Grammar, puntuation etc.

13 Dec 2003

Can I just say, it makes it so much easier to read posts, adds and stories if you use punctuation!
There are stories on the site so long as to make them unreadable after the first few lines, regardless of how good the content may be, as they have no punctuation, paragraphs etc.
The latest posted story is all in one paragraph - looks like it could be interesting, but totaly unreadable! Especially when there are kids about so you have to read quickly!
Please use puntuation and formatting when you post!
Like I've said before, if you cannot be bothered to write up your adds and posts properly, what else can't you be bothered to do!

I stand corrected

It's been said before and needs saying more often!!
I've been in and put in some white space - not sure if the paragraphs are correct, but the awful spelling and punctuation make it difficult to decipher, but it should help a little.
I've also changed the stories which were written in CAPITAL LETTERS WHICH MAKE IT EVEN HARDER TO READ... Aaaaaaaaaargh!! They are now in sentence case so read on.
Hope this helps.

Hi all,
As you know, this is a subject close to my heart and I can get a little pedantic about it, so...
it's GRAMMAR!
Thank you. Apologies for the caps, but it really winds me up mad

Right, time for a quiet lie down with a soothing rabbit...
Incidentally, how many proofreaders does it take to change a lightbulb? Four - one to put it in and three to debate whether it's a single word, two words or a compound word.
PS: Just had to give a little edit there. We really ought to get out more...

I agree aboslutely with all of the above. Whether it be a story or a reply to an ad, it is just so much easier for readers to take you seriously if you at least attempt to include punctuation, and proper spelling and grammar. You don't have to be perfect, just getting there!!!!
Nothing annoys me more than getting emails in which the writer has written the whole damn thing like a mobile phone text message...
If u guys rplyin 2 ads wnt 2 b tkn seriously (don't know how to write that in txt speech!) plz do us all a favor & spel yr wordz out proper like

Spelling helps as well!
