I'm honestly not picking on any specific ppl here w/ wat im about to say but omg why is it that its not uncommon to occasionally have to read posts written by some1 who never add any comma or period or question mark or even capitalize the first letter at the beginning of a new sentence but omg instead ramble on and on and on from one sen10ce to the next btw without any punctuation watsoever it's like when i read a post like that i feel like i have to hold my breath for so so long because i keep waiting for a comma or end of a sentence or omg some opportunity to hopefully please let me take a breath of air please please omg please i can't take it any longer im gonna blow up and then loose all my hair and then ill be bald or have to join the bzzboard if i decide i may have to shave my head which i really dont want to do but omg all this stress of trying to read a long long post like this w/out any punctuation whatsoever is really really killing me but speaking of wich i dont even care about correct spelling becuz english is a weird langwg wen it comes to that but no punctuation and im truly truly gonna turn blu and fall over dead becuz ill never make it to the end of such a long long sentence like this wen not allowed to pause or breathe or rest my eyes and try to figure out wat the hell im saying in this post after all lol

Hi Ken, hmmmmmm you've got a point there and I totally agree.
So not to tire you out I'll keep my response very short.So there.lol
Oh by the way as I write this I'm waiting to board my flight to SF.
I'll give you a call after I arrive and hopefully we can meet up.Just
a friendly warning:) Until then rest up and watch out for rambling posts.

This was hilarious! I agree with you.
WOW!
With your command of the English language Ken, I bet it took hours for you to write like that. ;-)

....that was truly painful ! Ha ! But I could not agree more.
Of course then you have ol WWT who overuses ";',"...", & "!!!" and even borrows John's spelling of "colour"

That was great Ken, I admit had to take a huge breath by the time I got to the end there.
Ken ...
I've missed your exceptional sense of humor the past year!
It's good to be home.
Blessings,

Great post, and maybe some folks will pay attention. The other thing that annoys me is when someone won't put an extra space after a period.
You should try grading a student's essay written something like you posted below. Sometimes when the paper is really bad, I just give it back and tell the person to re-do it all because it's basically "un-gradable."
LOL! There is always someone that writes like this...
Good post Ken! I have to uncross my eyes now. I read every word only because it's you, but generally I'll skip posts that make my head explode.

Point taken on board Ken, with your emphasis on punctuation.
Another website the Long Hair Community Forums has a pleading with it's members there to follow proper punctuation. There are a significant number of users here at the MLHB and other sites who come from a non-English speaking background and who may have poor English spelling or not understand the colloquial or abbreviated words of the teletext generation.
I'm one of those guys whose thoughts often outrace their poor touch-typing fingers which operate at a slightly lower speed and often have to reread my writing before posting and correct any mistakes though often if I'm in a mad rush I can miss this. It's a shame that members here cannot edit their posts after posting as I sometimes see new posts by the same person with a correction of their orginal post.
And a lot of internet users are in their teens and twenties having got used to the tele-texting word usage. I must admit that there are some abreviations which I didn't quite understand at first like ROTFL, FWIW, and LOL which look to be the way of the future for the generation of newer internet users coming along.
Just think what the MLHB will be like in a generations time! Will they be able to understand our old fashioned spelling or us theirs! Well we as a species will have to adapt one way or another.

Syntax error
Lol!
That long sentence was still easier to read than some I've seen.
