I don't want to be the person who does this but ok (as politely as I possibly can) please try to divide your articles in to paragraphs it just makes them A LOT easier to read nothing wrong with your grammar or content but when you get to anything longer than a comment paragraphs work miracles in making the article just look better and reader friendly
Hi this is only the first blog that I have written without using paragraphs. I wrote this blog on my new tablet which I am still getting used to . It is also not a very long blog . The blog In Love was done on my Blackberry .
First there was the Twitter Grammer Police now I see we have the Blog Grammer Police.
If my lack of use of paragraphs offends please feel free not to damage your eyes. But if you have had a look at my other blogs you will see I have many hits on them and people enjoy reading my stuff and dont mind my little errors as a first time blogger.
Have a Good Day and sorry for offending your eyes
I tried being as polite as possible because I hate criticizing people's articles like that I did not know the story behind why you were not using paragraphs I myself am guilty of not using paragraphs when working on an alien device I tried helping and I'm sorry if you took offence in my good hearted nature
Sorry LC1337crazer but you set yourself up ![]()
My pet hate is punctuation and sentence length.
Years ago I did my interneships as a Psychologist at a Hospital, and nobody had told me how to write reports properly. One of my first efforts was set back by the Psychiatrist concerned marked with read pen. I had written a few beautiful paragraphs, each one without any punctuation.
I learnt quickly.

Thank you. That looks a lot better than my hasty iPhone reply. But to be clear my paragraph comment is not n personal preference, or "hate" it was merely friendly advice.
so I wrote you a poem to say sorry.
Don't be afraid to double tap that enter every 30 words or so
or your readers will be squinting in woe
paragraphs will strive to mend
all the eyes you would've otherwise bent
so if you want me to know what you know
double tap that enter every 30 words or so
hey RED just this once i will share just this once
I did a course on the Google Power search a few years ago in the UK think i need to refresh myself with it . Thanks for the information will check it out ![]()
i started using Google bakc in 1999 a few weeks after they move dinto proper offices in Paulo Alto for the first time. I feels like yesterday.
We used to put two random actual words into Google, like "Green Parrot" and see what emerged. Later somethng similar was called a Googlewhack (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Googlewhack). We used to fall on the ground laughing at the results. Since then, I have used Google for every search I make (hears Sting singing in the background).
So... like you, Google is my first port of call to find out ANYTHING, and I mean anything. Sometimes though you have to ask the question the right way.
I think we have bigger things to worry about. What you discovered is that sometimes the writing instrument is the fault. My Razr drives me nuts sometimes. You would think it would have got easier to use correct grammer and punctuation and to spell.
The bigger thing is what the kids are doing. I am old enough to remember writing things down
. I would love to see how a first year students writing looks. Are the bad habits of SMS and Twitter creeping into the written forms in such a way that in 10 years I will need a dictionary to read English? Or maybe language is supposed to evolve?
Well this is an interesting article idea mind if i take it ?

Hey now! Back off! The Google oracle is MINE, I tell ya! All MIIIINE!
Yeah, I also don't know what I would do without that search engine. I've actually just completed Google's online Power Searching course. Was very cool. Filled with nifty search tricks to speed up searches, etc. Even had to write two tests and then received a certificate at the end. Unfortunately the course is over, but if you're interested, Google "Power Searching Course".
