Coming back a bit nearer to the original subject: I would be happier if people would at least put a new line now and then, after a full-stop. A new line between paragraphs would be a bonus. Reading large amounts of text, without "white space" is very hard.  This text is a bit too short to really illustrate my point, but I'm sure I'm not the only one !

And now, same again -

I agree with you Graceland.

When we write something it is to convey meaning so as long as it can be understood I don't think people should feel hung up about errors

Bob is also right in saying that it is difficult to read long pieces of text if it has no white space between. I've often given up reading someone's pleas for help for just this reason.

I couldn't have put it better G

I was once told by a Court Circuit Judge that I could change the course of legal history, hang an innocent man and set new precedents (or in my case presidents) with my spelling.

I worked for him for 23 years. 

an extract from a statement I took from a witness to an attack

"I saw exactly what happened as I was well within eyesh.t
when he came at me I threw a glass bowel at him which cracked when it hit his head.  I was mad about that as the bowel was a present from my Mum.  I knew he had been drinking because his friend said he had drank 7 strong largers at lunchtime"

I am also useless at math.  I bluffed my way into a job with a Building Society where I worked for two years.  When the computers went down and we had to add up and take away manually, I often went into a coma due to fright.

My last job was at the local library where I worked for 11 years.

This weekend my fourth play what I wrote is being performed over three nights by a local Am Dram group.

Not bad for an illiterate.    ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
