      Meet English (American?) News websites where every sentence is their own paragraph, I hate it

        I get your point but the person you are responding to is 100% on the right side of this paragraph-less fence. I just started rage ramble typing. I’ll make some quick edits to my comment wall of text when I get home from the Browns Philly game if I can still type lol

          Oh, this wasn’t to take from his point, I didn’t even read your comment in the first place. Hilarious reply though. It just triggered another pet peeve of mine

        I admit I’m guilty on Lemmy of too-short paragraphs, but it’s usually more as a conversational emphasis thing. For example, I’d say something like this: "I was traveling down the road and I saw this dog. It looked back at me and we just stared at each other for a while.

        Then the dog spoke."

        But better short sentences separated by carriage returns than no paragraphs in my opinion.

          A literate person takes grammar and spelling seriously - - - writers prefer clarity and creativity over conformity.
