    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.
