To the users who write long posts venting/advice

Im not a grammar nazi, but you need to try use paragraphs if you can.

Its really hard to read and digest otherwise.

Sort of agree, yet everyone is different. I do break things down into paragraphs myself. Most especially on my own long posts.

It's hard enough to get anyone to read a 17,459 character post when few write more than a hundred if that.

Also helps to use the page formating options on long posts.

@chrisCA I am not perfect and I have some college behind me!

I surely will not ... "caste the first stone"!

Often though I do go back and correct things. Sometimes years later.

@DeWayfarer I will edit my posts when I see mistakes. I am not a Literature genius myself, but I take pride in what I do.

@chrisCA where I take the point of view of: was their message clear enough to understand most of it.

Often meanings are understood through context. Or simple cultural misconceptions.

Pride has little to do with attempts at understanding. Intent is often clearer than precision. It's like seeing the forest from the trees.
I was going to say something earlier. A wall of text is not only just annoying, it's hard on the eye's. Thanks for the reminder.

if there is a long post with no paragraphs, I just wont even attempt reading it. Screw that

@Torsten Most of the time it is nonsense anyways.

Please try to avoid the offensive term "Nazi." Correcting grammar is nothing like what was done in Europe during WWII. Thanks.

Hear, hear.
