Read today, "use one sentence only for email". Who made up that one? Oh wait; it must have been the kid in the third row rear who peers at his cell hand during class instead of listening to the teacher. He's called on by the teacher and his response is usually, "Huh?" True; that is one sentence. I guess it could be called "email"-able. Not a true story, but it could be somewhere. I can see that texting someone requires not only the brainless codes that are used mostly by those who do that kind of thing. To me texting is one matter, but emailing is like mail and if you think you can communicate on a one sentence basis, you are unique. I don't use a cell phone even though I have one. None of the people I know, call me on it because most of them have the luxury of time to make a land call or an email as a piece of good English rather than poking off a lot of capitals done in haste to hasty folk. The age old saying that haste is waste, here, does not apply. Seems these days everyone is in a terrible hurry. Going where they do mach speed, and doing what they're supposed to be doing, remains a mystery because no more is accomplished than those who slow down and focus. Getting back to having to use only one sentence, encourages one to the run-on varity of sentence or at least one with more than normal, commas, because, as an example, today I wanted to hire a handyman or woman to please come and put together a received via FedEx an on-line item, an electric fireplace that when I opened the box, appeared to be a lego project of some length -and width - due to the Amazon shopping list illustration that makes it look wonderful for its black oak surround, its dark marble margins and the interesting flame that when turned to the designation, "heat", produces a healthy, looking flame that blows warmth out of the vents in its, the unit's thirty-two inch front that faces the user. (How is that for a LONG sentence; it's one only!) Next time, a cyber genius makes a rule such as this one-sentence thing, it should be more specific as to how. But OMG TMI IMHO BTW J/K then again DILLIGAS?
