    I don't know if it is just myself that sees this often but has anyone else noticed the complete degredation of the structure of a sentence??? I mean, I look around (not just on here but it's been pretty evident) and see strings of words with no punctuation, capitalization....nothing!!! The constant, purposeful misspelling of words..... Gah. Sorry for the rant, been a long day :(

    You are going to make one person very happy.

    On both forums and chat, I tend to be less structured simply because it's easier and I can answer more posts that way. If one would see a business opportunity presentation or a letter to the IRS that I compose, it would look very different.

    I do understand what you're saying though. If I can't figure out what a poster is saying because they don't know how to type English with even a modicum of structure, I just move on. I choose not to waste my time.

    :lol: Whoever could you mean dear Curtis? :D

    Sentence structure doesn't bother me as much as bad spelling or "LOL" speak does. :D
