To help make threads easier to read...

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. I hate threads that go on and on and on and on and on and on without any paragraph breaks. Sheesh, I go blind by the third of fourth line. The nerve of some people! Well, I suppose I shouldn't say "The nerve of some people," because I'm sure at one time or another in my two-plus years on YorkieTalk, I, AlaskaYorkie, have blathered on and on and on without a paragraph return. The nerve of me! But I just want to say that I definitely see your point. I mean, without paragraph markers, words are like a heavy cloud cover in a blue sky. Hmm, that's almost poetic. I knew I should have been a poet! Then I wouldn't be stuck working a 40-hour a week job week in and week out with no time for my Yorkies or YorkieTalk. YorkieTalk? Oh, yeah, YORKIETALK. I'm on Yorkietalk right now! OK, sorry for the diversion. Where was I? Oh, I was agreeing with txshopper73 about what a nuissance a lack of paragraph markers are. I couldn't agree more! Did I already say that? OMG, I've gone and done it again! All these words, no paragraph markers! What was I thinking? Hmm, but as long as I'm here, I happen to know that txshopper73 doesn't read long posts without paragraph marks. I could say whatever I want about her, and she'd never know! Ha! I'll bet she doesn't even live in Texas! Probably some northerner! LOL. Wouldn't know a rodeo from a road trip. LOL. Hey, did you hear she got a pom? I'll bet she loves it more than she loves her Yorkies! We ought to make her go to PommyTalk! HA. But then I'd have nobody to tease. Nevermind.

OK Kimberley, you can start reading again. I was just illustrating your point. Good thread!

A 20 Year-old!?!?! THat's me!!! I know you were just making a point so I'm kidding as well ... And yes, most people my age do tend to do that. I hope I have better grammar than most.

Exactly!!

It's impossible to read a big long blob without a single period.

Okay...off my soap box now.

I totally agrre

I'm with you on this one also. There are some that drive me nuts trying
to figure what the heck they mean. It's an age thing I guess

[Wylie's Mom]

Oh.My.Gosh.

THANK you for saying this. When I open a thread and there is one loooong paragraph - I can't read it, I just move on.

The other thing that bothers me is when folks write like this: They Capitlize Every Single First Letter Of Every Word. Why is that? So difficult to read.

V, I'm totally offended by that remark.

That is exactly what I was just about to post! Why In The World Would Someone Post Like This?!!! It absolutely makes no sense! It's incredibly annoying to read and it's more work for the poster.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this thread!

[Nikki+2]

I was just on another thread and now I have another peeve to add. The over capitilization is annoying, yes, but please, please use capitals when they apply. It's hard to read a super long post that is all in lowercase letters.
