Thread Name: BS: Paragraph Breaks
Subject: RE: BS: Paragraph Breaks
exactly freda - Its another language. A different genre, perhaps.

Capitals and periods make it easier to read, as do line breaks but its acceptable on the net to leave out capitals or misspell a word. Abrupt sentences or phrases are more than acceptable. Think, short, sweet, and to the point.

Long, run on sentences with no line breaks are very difficult to read and will therefore not be read by many. Paragraphs may or may not exist.

Logical flow is, however, a must.

Standard English is not net language.
