full stops requested !

I just hate it when people start ranting on threads without using full stops. You can change the spelling if you like, use an original colour... but please ! Make clear where a sentence begins and where it stops.

Often these threads are full of semi-spiritual bullshit and it just kills the discussion! mad

Zelaira is the only exception for me, I don't ever want her to explain herself. The org would get kinda boring !

Ok. I. Will. Try. My. Best. To. Make. Sure. I. Use. Stops. Now. And. Then.

Because I know how difficult it could be reading a whole paragraph full od sentences without even using one stop and making it confusing to where one sentence begins and ends and makes you guess what this person was babbling about throughout the paragraph but some people can't help themselves because even in real life they talk and talk without ever stopping and after a while it makes you wander or day dream because you stopped listening since you can't really understand what that person was saying

biggrin

Basically you're talking about Zelaira, right? She has never used a stop in her entire time here in the org.

I'm usually anal about puntuation so I agree with you on that but if you're going to bitch about punctuation then please don't use non-words such as agressivity!!!!

I think it's maybe a way of expressing a rant

would you know it was a rant if you used puntuation

hmmm

when we rant we don't talk to very well formed sentances we tend to just keep going till we run out of air or someone punches us smile



why am i making excuses hmm

Yeah, if you really want to rant, you have to leave out the punctuation. We might even give it a literary term, 'stream of consciousness'. lol

It's not a very big issue of course. I just get irritated when I read a very structured discussion here... and then some lunatic shows up and starts to rant.

But I guess it irritates me even more because the discussions are in another language. I even use a dictionary sometimes, while reading and writing on the org.

I wonder how many English-speaking people would understand another language when no punctuation is used.

It's like the Portuguese I'm learning right now. I thought I was going well till I started talking to people on the net. 'Que' has become 'k' etcetera. They've invented a new spelling.
