Why *for example* are there SO many people who think it's not *completely* and *utterly* irritating to read so MANY emphasized words. Have we lost our ability to decipher sentences?
Why do others never use the shift key or punctuation just making run on sentences that are hard on the eyes and the brain it isn't easy to read
I saw an interesting one the other day, too. Every sentence ended with a line, all on its own that had a colon on it. I'm not sure how it will turn out in this format but it went like so:
We went shopping for several hours in a new mall. : Jimmy bought underwear and I got some capris. : They are khaki-coloured and button-front. :
What the hell is that? Why can't people just write? Are books not good enough any more? Should we go back and capitalize and italicize and add asterisks to every fourth word there, too?
Sheesh.
The point, as I understand it, is to be understood. All of this needless punctuation and messing about only detracts from the message. It's irritating. And I *really* mean that!
