I agree completely. What bugs me the most though is when people post journals complaining about people like us who constantly are correcting their bad grammar and punctuation. That is a big pet peeve of mine.
It's like, well if you would use proper grammar in the first place we wouldn't have this issue in the first place.
As a person, whose English is a foreign language, I find it very hard to read your chat speak.
At least I try to write correctly, even though my grammar and spelling are far from perfect, but that's how I learn - through writing and putting effort in it.
And as a wannabe writer I like it when people correct me on my spelling and/or grammar, I mean, I don't always notice my mistakes myself.
And as for paragraphs, yeah, they do make things easier to read, and I would like it if users here would start using them more, but I also don't blame some of them if they don't, because a lot of times I completely forget about them too, but usually I go back and correct the problem.
