Suggestion Box

[Snowhite714]

Please proofread your posts before submitting.  I can't tell you how many posts I've read in these forums that I cannot make sense out of, either because of spelling or run on sentences or they just don't make any sense. What's the purpose of posting if no one understands what you're trying to say.

And, if you're going to post an essay, how about using paragraphs.  It'll make it easier, for those of us who may have an interest or are just curious, to read your post.

I agree about using paragraphs. I often read only 1 or 2 sentences of a very long post that's not pargraphed. Just too hard to follow!

Not everyone has top notch writing, spelling and grammar skills.  Nor does everyone take the time to double check posts because writing on a forum is like a conversation, you jump in and participate.  If the posts needs clarification, that can occur along the way and most people here are very willing to help.

However, if it gets on your last nerve (and it does for some).... just click out of the thread and hop to another one. Easy fix....

Can I add before responding to a post, read the whole thing. So many times the responder goes off on a tangent, without understanding what the post is about. I'm convinced that a lot of folks don't read the whole post.

Yep... and one of my pet peeves is when folks don't read even recent posts and proceed to ask questions that have already been recently answered... ask for a picture that has already been posted and so on...

I agree about posters not reading posts by what they post because it makes no sense.  Some post I haven't read the posts, but here's my opinion.  Again, it makes no sense with the current discussion.

I,type on an iPad.  For,some reason it inserts commas everywhere.  Before I post, I have to go back and remove most of them

 I have tried changing the settings, but my iPad,is,comma happy.

i didn't correct the commas this time around.

i agree that paragraphs are helpful, but sometimes,the errors are due to technology,

[x Hedge]

In a 'no paragraphs' situation I just skip the post entirely.

Occasionally, if I'm in the mood for puzzles, I'll try to figure out what a wall of words is about by reading the replys. 

I can easily get the meaning from most misspellings and clumsy sentences. But sometimes the missing (or not) punctuation makes a post completely nonsensical.
