Message: [QUOTE="Umami Zen, post: 3829816, member: 10678"] Variety is the spice of Life. You and Get A Job have forced me to assess my cyber space approach to messaging . I had always thought the priority was on content over style. But you both have pointed out to me numerous times that it is quite different here in cyber space than in the Real World . I will admit that if I am specifically answering you I will personalize my response in a manner that you might enjoy. .I continue to fall into the trap of prioritizing content over form and I'm working on that challenge.. My IT lane is somewhat limited as I am not a GIFologist, a videographer, a talented linguist, an advanced social media technician ,etc. The double spacing for paragraphs and thoughts popularized by you both has influenced some of my cyber space style. As Get A Job has pointed out, more for the reader than the author. Brevity and double periods are two other hurdles I'm trying to improve on in 2021. Ironically, in Real World emails/text messages that I receive from all age groups, double/triple/and even quadruple periods are in abundance but on the BY.. Frowned upon. Just don't want to be so focused on technology and lose sight of the authentic message as Dan Brown hypothesizes in his book The Origin. The Real World vs cyber space conundrum. Know what I mean?
