How do you do strikethroughs for a whole sentence of words - or do you have to strikethrough the words individually

I saw on a thread where someone did a strikethrough of loads of words - just wondered if you had to do each word individually (which takes ages) or if you can do a whole load of words all at once.

Have you not, you know, noticed other people not bothering with the faff of individual strikeouts?

It's a bit like finding money you didn't know you had, eh?

No. I never even noticed.

All those nanoseconds wasted Grin

It is like finding a £20 in DP's jeans and then keeping it giving it to him.

I would like to be able to do strikethroughs on Facebook so I can really be passive aggressive.

Someone said somewhere that it is possible to do strikethoruhgs on facebook.

I can't remember how though.

Sorry that is not very useful, but if you want to know if I were you I would start a thread asking - someone only mentioned it the other day.
