Punctuation - commas, periods, and more

[blowit]

Not trying to be an ass here but taking a few extra minutes to proof read your posts can really help so much. Periods, commas, questions marks, separate paragraphs, it all helps sooo much! I am no where near an English major but reading some of these posts, it gets tough when all words are jumbled together. I understand some are not good with English. There are plenty of spell checks out there to assist and there should probably be one on the site.

 

Some rules of thumb that might help are:

 

1. 5-7 sentences per paragraph.

2. commas are used separate ideas or thoughts in a sentence. They are also used to indicate a pause for the reader. There are plenty of rules for commas but at least trying to use them will help.

3. Question mark after any sentence asking a question.

 

 

The list goes on but please just make an effort to punctuate your posts. Thanks.

I agree 100%... Sometimes you dont even realize, sometimes your just in such a rush..

I catch myself doing it aswell, I agree though, When asking a question, there are alot of great guys on here that are always looking to help, but when they have to re-read te post 2-3 times, it must get very fustrating..

Really, you have a valid point when it comes to this. It is very hard to understand alot of posts due to horrible grammar.

Would be nice to see though. :thumbsup:

I remember a similar post a year or so back, as long as anyone has access to a keyboard there are going to be some posts that will be tough to sit through.
