Might i add indentations are the old way of doing things. if you want to get any where in the business world drop the indentation, it is old and outdated.

When writing for business I tend to justify my work.

It is just neater.

Spider, TNT, in no way this is meant to offend you, I am just pointing something out.

In se there is nothing wrong with the use of your grammar, but when you write a post it is often constructed as spoken English. TNT hardly ever uses paragraphs apostrophes or a capital letter when referring to the first person singular.
Spider does the same thing, does use paragraphs but has a weird way of putting his punctuation.

People who read, like Liam, J&#39;Pol, clocker, pay much more attention to that, and I think that they don&#39;t even have to think about it anymore, it&#39;s an automatism.

A post well constructed with a little attention for image, punctuation, etc...is much nicer to read. Especially for people who aren&#39;t used to reading English that much.

Dude, another misconception.
I have learn that in paragraphs, you drop a line and indent(which is how it should be done) and not to drop a line completely and start on the 2nd line down.
It just so happens that if you press &#39;Tab&#39; button for paragraph as you would in word, it just scrolls you down to the bottom of the page on Klite.
So if you read more clearly/had knowledge of this particualr thing, your "TNT hardly ever uses paragraphs" is clearly wrong. [/b][/quote]
Not in the Netherlands, we just "drop" a line; they probably do the same in Belgium...

Thank you Nigel, yes indeed, we do just drop a line


It&#39;s amazing, that aggressive approach...

Seems a bit like tautology to me. [/b][/quote]
Not necessarily. The concept of democracy is old but not outdated. Conversly a Pentium MMX chip isn&#39;t really old (less than a decade ago it was cutting-edge) but it&#39;s certainly outdated.

Can you quantify old, outwith the frame of reference in which the description was used.

I never realised it was an empirical concept, thanks for that.

OK, bad example.

I&#39;ll let you know when I think of a better one
