When paragraphs are really long

January 5, 2007

This is for anyone who writes stuff:

Use paragraphs.

Seriously. I refuse to read and/or link to articles or news items that are not divided into paragraphs properly. When paragraphs are really long, there is something wrong; it almost exclusively means that the paragraphs in question are elaborating on not one core sentence or utterance, but two, or worse, more than two.

Please, take this into account. It renders texts unreadable. Use the paragraph wisely.

  2. Im sorry. I have a terible spelling , grammar, thought grouping skills. My paragraphs run-on my thought jumble together. I find myself playing with new OS’s or apps for to much to learn the basics. Im sadend by thought that some of my greater ideas have gone silent based upon my ignorance of the human language. Again I am sorry and hope make it better asap.
