Paragraphs Please!

pupmom

I've thought about posting this for awhile, but have hesitated. Don't want to offend anyone, and I know many do this already.

But, I would like to suggest that very long posts be divided into paragraphs. Often I am interested in a topic but get lost in a long stream of sentences. If I look away for an instant I have lost my place and have to search to find it again. Sometimes I give up and close the thread. I don't want to miss good information or not offer help and support to somebody, but I just can't keep up with a long unbroken stream of thoughts. Maybe it's just me though!

Good idea. I too find it easier to read. 

Thanks for your suggestion!

I love paragraphs, but I usually use too many of them.

I'm with you, yorkiemom.

I mean, if I want to read Ulysses or Finnegan's Wake, I will just go and get Joyce at the bookstore.

I agree.

Kay, we hear you, and the tech team is working on an update that will be optimized for mobile devices. When public testing gets underway, member comments on items like this will be a great help to have it working as well as possible for everyone.

I prefer paragraphs, too. Much easier to read and keep interest.

Kayb, yes that happens to me too. Mods, thank you!

     Yes, of course, paragraphs make posts easier to read but honestly, I have enough things to worry about without sentence structure being one of them.

     English isn't everyone's first language.  And we all have varying degrees of typing and grammar skills.  Some are posting while extremely stressed and under stress.  I wouldn't want to think someone isn't comfortable posting because they forgot to use paragraphs.
