  • First Annual Customers Suck! ¶aragra¶h Day

    Remember, remember the fifth of November,
    To se¶arate your com¶lete thoughts
    I know of no reason
    Why linebreaks between them
    Should ever be forgot


    It's November the Fifth, and I welcome you to celebrate the First Annual Customers Suck! ¶aragra¶h Day. You can celebrate by se¶arating your thoughts into organized ¶arts called ¶aragra¶hs. When the direction of your ¶ost changes significantly, hit the "Enter" or "Return" key twice to start a new section. As a general rule, a ¶aragra¶h should be about five to six sentences in length. This sim¶le ste¶ greatly im¶roves the readability of your ¶ost, making it much more likely that others will read it and res¶ond to you.

    But Chuck Norris roundhouse-kicked my keyboard and broke the Enter key
    Get a new keyboard. You can ¶robably find one for free from FreeCycle. While you're at it, try to find a better excuse, too.

    I never know when to start a new ¶aragra¶h
    If you have trouble knowing when it's a¶¶ro¶riate, just create a new one after every five or six sentences. It may not be ¶erfect, but we will a¶¶reciate the effort.

    Grow up and do the dishes like mommy told you to.

    Happy CS¶D!

                  We are being reminded to divide our posts into paragraphs when they start to look like giant globs of text, in order to make them more readable. (That ¶ symbol replacing all the Ps is a proofreading mark used to indicate a new paragraph is needed.)

                    It all makes glorious sense now.

                        Great idea, GBM, I'm always one to use too many paragraphs, however...

                            I'm chiming in to cheer this idea!!

                            I always feel bad, but if someone posts a big ol' gob o' thoughts, I'm probably not going to read it, as it hurts my eyes and brain. Yay for paragraphs!

                              I like paragraphs.

                              If I get to a post and see it's a big block o' text, I won't bother to read it. It gets kind of hard to determine where one thought ends and another begins.
