I am in agreement with the guideline about run on sentences and paragraphs.

They have always bugged me. In fact I would like permission to copy & paste them to my Christian Fellowship forum.

Some times I do compose that way, but if I do I always go through it and find logical points for paragraph breaks and any other formatting to make things easier to read.

Thanks Chad, I will do better on the next one!

I completly forgot,sorry. Not sure if this will post.

I am sorry about the post I made. I forget how long to type to make a sentence even. I'm not very good at typing but I'm trying. Please let me know if I make another mistake.

Should I have made that sentence shorter? I do apologize. God Bless You.
I cant use the spell checker on this. It says I have to download something. I don't like to download much.

Please use simple proper paragraphing and grammar. The "A/A" spell checker button is on the very top right of the editor when posting new threads or replies.

Example: BAD Post

This is a very long post and very difficult to read especially with no paragraphing structure or no periods for (breaks) and just a never ending sentence as well making it very difficult to read and strains the eyes, discomforts the reader from wanting to even finish the entire post in the first place its about time (this should be sentence 2 or 3 by now) that i think about this and try to redo my posts from now on to make it easy to read for all audience and also may prevent others from misunderstanding or getting lost in the subject when reading your post - so let us use proper grammar sentencing paragraph structure as shown below to make talk Jesus the pleasant community it will and should always be This is a very long post and very difficult to read especially with no paragraphing structure or no periods for (breaks) and just a never ending sentence as well making it very difficult to read and strains the eyes, discomforts the reader from wanting to even finish the entire post in the first place its about time (this should be sentence 2 or 3 by now) that i think about this and try to redo my posts from now on to make it easy to read for all audience and also may prevent others from misunderstanding or getting lost in the subject when reading your post - so let us use proper grammar sentencing paragraph structure as shown below to make talk Jesus the pleasant community it will and should always be This is a very long post and very difficult to read especially with no paragraphing structure or no periods for (breaks) and just a never ending sentence as well making it very difficult to read and strains the eyes, discomforts the reader from wanting to even finish the entire post in the first place its about time (this should be sentence 2 or 3 by now) that i think about this and try to redo my posts from now on to make it easy to read for all audience and also may prevent others from misundering or getting lost in the subject when reading your post - so let us use proper grammar sentencing paragraph structure as shown below to make talk Jesus the pleasant community it will and should always be

Example: Good Post

This is the first line of the example post. It is good to use proper grammar and sentencing/paragraphing structure to make it easy to read for all audience. Note that I press the ENTER button when I reach the end of the right side of this word box where I am typing.

Now, I spaced one line and gone to the next to make it easier to read. Too many lines with poor sentencing and one gigantic paragraph will more likely deter members from reading your posts.

Use the PREVIEW POST button found on the right side of the submit post button

How to use the Spell Check Function

When done writing out your post, click the ABC red check mark icon on the top right of the editor. See photo below for example.

Thank you for trying your best to use proper paragraphing structure.

PLEASE DO NOT USE ALL CAPS. THIS IS CONSIDERED SHOUTING AND MAKES READING DIFFICULT.
