To want everyone to stop it with the crossings out?

If you have something to say in a post, can you please just say it, rather than doing the intensely annoying whispering-behind-your-hand crossing out thing? I wouldn't mind so much if everyone always used it correctly but people are using it for whole paragraphs of pertinent information. It's not an effective replacement for wit.

AIBU?

Sometimes one is better than 2 asterisks

Lweji · 01/09/2016 02:39

And you need words and spaces in between.

Destinysdaughter · 01/09/2016 04:58

What is the conversion rate between an imperial and a metric fuckton?

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 01/09/2016 05:54

You have to write more than one word for it to work properly
