ESL attention

When we were able to tag other people's topics, it was very common to see "Wall Of Text" added by frustrated readers. Sadly, such user comments are not now possible. You include "ESL" in yout topic title, but I suspect a good many of these are by barely literate English speakers. What they post may be the longest thing they have ever written.

These people can't really navigate the site well because they are reading it in translation - they won't find your topic.

Furthermore, they aren't going to know WTF you're talking about when you say 'para'. I have learned how to speak Dale so I know you mean paragraph, but they could think paralegal or paraprofessional. In Spanish, para means for. This topic is just one big ball of confusion for them.

Also, they are probably not breaking paragraphs because they are likely to be accessing A2K on their phones, and it's not always easy to see where to put a break in. For a lot of people outside the US, phone Internet is the only Internet they know or have access to.

Sorry, but these kinds of topics don't do any good. I know you mean well.

Yea Con, thanks, that was my very assumption. My hope he isn't insulted

Holy cow, never occurred to me. But yes, and others use some sort of foreign software that doesn't permit para-ing. My apologies if anyone offended
