When posting you need to....

Haven't had this thread for awhile and probably many have added.

 

For me, it is paragraphs. If it is one big long paragraph I have a hard time reading it and staying focused throughout the whole post.

 

English wise, when you change thoughts, change paragraphs. :thumb:

 

What other things can we do to make it easer to read and understand BGP posts?

This bothers me, too...as a fellow teacher, I am sure that you also have students who will turn in writing pieces that are one long, continuous paragraph.

 

One of my biggest is the misspelling of "receive"...when I see "recieve," I wince in pain.

Anyone want to guess which SCHOOL's spelling drives me nuts????:lol:

Isn't that the company that makes wool coats or something like that?

Stay on the thread topic and not make unrelated, off the wall comments.

Man, if I have to post within those guidelines..... well I just don't know what to say.

If sticking rigidly to the topic was one of the rules, I wouldn't last long. I might have to petition the BGP powers-that-be to change my usedname to mcthreadjack.

This isn't something I need to do, and it's more of a bad habit than anything... But I tend to use ellipses more than I should... See, that's twice just in this post. If I'm actually writing something I don't use them, but for some reason when posting here I find myself typing them repeatedly.

Back to the topic...

 

To use a certain leading men's magazine's phrasing:

 

Turn-offs:

 

Poor grammar, spelling and punctuation.

"Internet shouting" (ALL CAPS).

Overuse of internet shorthand.

Use of smileys when stabbing someone in the back (YOU STINK:D:thumb:).

The paragraph thing drives me nuts. I've been known to take the official mod crew ice chipper to more than a few lengthy ones.

I knew there was a technical term for it...

I have to confess to being guilty of that one on many occasions. But try to catch it when I remember.

I love ellipses...!

I hate "I seen that".

 

Huge pet peeve!
