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.
My last job i had for years I actually applied for their open machinist position but was hired on for inside sales because my understanding of the industry. That role grew from inside sales to operations manager in what felt like shorter than a blink of the eye.
They basically had to teach me how to write busness emails.
Short.
Direct to the point.
Lots of breaks in text to minimize loss of recipient’s attention.
Save the bullshit for the phone call conversations.
Edit: and avoid implied redundancies like the phrase “phone call conversations” lol
Meet English (American?) News websites where every sentence is their own paragraph, I hate it

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