Out of curiosity...
Do you use LinkedIn a lot?
I've noticed this cadence of speaking.
It's like, a LinkedIn-ese.
Every sentence is punctuated by a paragraph.
Is that intentional or something subconsciously picked up?
- andrewstuart 6y agoNothing to do with LinkedIn. I write like that online because I feel people read like that online - they more easily consume bullet point style writing than paragraphs. Dunno if that is true or not.
- gav 6y agoI think of it more as a BBC thing than a LinkedIn thing: https://danielmiessler.com/blog/email-like-bbc/ https://danielmiessler.com/blog/email-like-bbc/ If you're trying to get your point across to busy people, short paragraphs help.
- MetaWhirledPeas 6y agoI think you're right, but I also think it loses its punch if you overuse it. I'd suggest saving it for lines you really want to highlight.
- eplanit 6y agoIt's become a thing over the past few months if not longer. People tell their stories in the sentence per paragraph form, thinking it adds drama, I guess. I find it a bit annoying.
