I write the way I talk, so if you don't like it you can {bleep} off.

See, I see conversations here as real conversations. Sometimes I see people try too hard to crank out the perfect english paper when talking about something like their toenails.
When I write stuff on here, I actually say the words out in my mind, and sometimes I even say them out loud, so yes I do insert stuff like commas and dashes where I would normally pause or link up the words.
On the other hand, I will seek out and destroy all those who write in ebonics. I highly doubt people talk like that in the 3-D world.

Re: Commas
One sentence paragraphs are great (I use them all the time!) until they become run-on sentences that never ever seem to stop suggesting that the writer had a whole jumble of ideas coming to him at once and he didn't know what to do with them but to express them in a single thought but then it just doesn't make any sense to the reader and the sentence becomes annoying to read and the whole original point is lost because now the reader will have to either go back and pay more attention to each word or just pretend it never happened and go on with his life and soon the writer is disappointed because nobody responded to his thoughts which he thought was completely coherent...
