I get lots of emails; funny, sad, warning, patriotic, silly, informative, you name it. I delete many of them even before I read them if I am busy or if it looks like: a) I have seen it before, b) it seems like I can live another day without knowing the contents, or c) it is a mass forwarding that obviously was not sent with me in mind.
But, WHY do folks feel compelled to use the BIGGEST LETTERS, in every COLOR AND STYLE?
And why must I
scroll
down
to
read
it?
Maybe I am getting old or cranky, but I hate it. I don't want to scroll anywhere. I want to read it. Make the point-tell the story-and move on.
And I don't need colors, italics, underlines, boldness, or lots of punctuation to enjoy a story. All of these keyboard options are the written equivalent of shouting at the reader. Yes, one can use all the options, but should one?
Sigh... I think I need a nap. Or a stroll, not a scroll!
