Of late we are getting a whole ton of questions without any punctuation or capitalization. I guess this is some new fad?
Then, too, it would seem to me that most of those posting to AC are over the age of the newest fads, so I am having a difficult time wrapping my fingers around it. I am no longer going to even attempt any posts to us that have no punctuation.
I am starting to think that some of our questions are written by an A.I. algorithm that hasn't attended grammar school.
Alas. as the old Irish R.N. said to me, "Things change one coffin at a time." Somehow, while my back was turned, it was decided that punctuation is a waste of our valuable time.
All take care. I am certain I will return in a month's time in a much better mood!
Also lately new people not putting one thing in their profile. Frustrating.
Have a great month off Alva!
Why punctuation matters.
Some people find inspiration in cooking their families and their dogs.
My dd, who is approaching 60, is very "with it" in terms of technology, gaming etc. She told me that punctuation and spelling don't matter any more as long as the other person gets it. Abbreviations abound and work better on cell phones and ipads.
I'm OK with that as long as I have picked up enough jargon to understand. Mostly it's intuitive, I find. Late - L8. Cya - see you, thx - thanks. I love you - ♥
The new language forms are here to stay. May as well get used to them.
I don't worry too much about reading text without commas and paragraphs. I look at the context then usually get most of it. I think the spilling out of stories here is probably therapeutic for the writer, though it is better, in terms of getting good answers, if they are easily legible. Mind you, at times, my grammar nazi does rise up. 😉
Enjoy your vaca!
Have a wonderful sabbatical!
Thanks CW I'm saving that this time!

Incorrect punctuation
will never be cute.
Let’s eat, kids.
Stop clubbing baby seals
😉 this is my - seal - of disapproval.
it looks so seally with paragraphs and paragraphs, and no punctuation.
i don't want to seal with it. i don't want to - sea - it.
