    Punctuation is your friend.

    Sorry, couldn't get through your post.



    I was asking for advice, this is a supportive forum and if you had nothing supportive to say please don't comment on petty things just for the sake of commenting, and for the record I am an English Literature teacher so I am very much acquainted with punctuation but as I said this is a forum were abbreviations are used and not everything needs to be grammatically correct, just my opinion. :-)

    Both spelling and punctuation should be innate to your writing, supportive forum or not, because it makes it easier to read.

    Perhaps adjust your expectations for both the forum and your weight loss.


    As stated previously, if it does not concern my original question and you don't "approve" of my typing then please mind your own business and concern yourself with your own weight loss as it would be better fitted. I have said this before mfp is for support, diet and lifestyle, there is no need for people like yourself to be ignorant to anyone or does not relate to the topic at hand there are too many people on forums and social networks who think they can belittle anyone or undermine, it's childish and I for one my dear will not let anyone try to make me feel inadequate especially over something as pathetic as a few punctuation marks, that is all thank you. :-)
    It's not childish. I gave you feedback on your post. It was one long sentence. I did nothing to make you feel inadequate, to undermine you, to belittle you. I simply told you I found it unreadable.

    If someone had called me on it, I would have said, whoa, I just re-read that and yes! Sorry.
    But you choose to defend it based on your understanding of internet forum etiquette. And to do so in a snarky manner. So be it. We all choose how we interact on forums. No skin off my nose.

    But my comment is still valid.

    Again, best of luck on your journey.
    cheers
