discreet Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) The importance of correct punctuation: Dear John I want a man who knows what love is all about. You are generous, kind, thoughtful. People who are not like you admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me for other men. I yearn for you. I have no feelings whatsoever when we’re apart. I can be forever happy–will you let me be yours? Jane OR Dear John I want a man who knows what love is. All about you are generous, kind, thoughtful people, who are not like you. Admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me. For other men, I yearn. For you, I have no feelings whatsoever. When we’re apart, I can be forever happy. Will you let me be?

xgsjx Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 How very dare you imply that none of the BC community have a sense of humour! In the subject of correct grammar, getting your capital letters in the right place is important too, especially if you want to help your uncle Jack off a horse.
