LittleMe Jewell Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Not wanting to be a 'sentence nazi' or whatever (since my own punctuation is sometimes inaccurate), I'll not post this in any of the threads where I've recently seen it, but instead I will vent here: If a person can manage to type in mostly full sentences, without lots of chat speak (using u instead of you, etc...), then why is it so hard to add capitalization and end of sentence punctuation, rather than just running everything together (maybe, maybe) separated by a series of dots? I realize that when posting via a phone, it sometimes takes an extra finger click/jab to add a period, but doing so will typically automatically capitalize your next word for the beginning of a new sentence. And other capitals, apostrophes, and such do not really add that much more time. I try not to complain too much about grammar and punctuation since I tend to toss in hyphens to break up thoughts, rather than using semi-colons or periods or parens when those would likely be better. However, I think my posts are still very readable and understandable, even given my quirk with hyphens. Yet when nothing is capitalized and there are tons of sentences only separated by a few dots, it is often just so difficult to read and fully understand the gist of what is being said. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what so frustrating about that particular type of posting style: The sentences are complete, just not properly punctuated or capitalized and such. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easy to imagine such a person talks the same way - never stopping to breathe or give the listeners a chance to respond or interject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rioko Bamaisin Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Ok, so I need to reinstall SL for this party-what is a good viewer these days? I always used Firestorm back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhonda Huntress Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 (edited) Firestorm is still the most popular viewer. I'm weird in that I prefer the lab's viewer most of the time. Either will work fine for a party [eta] Scratch that last part. LL's viewer will probably start texture thrashing with a group of people all together like that.

Rhonda Huntress Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 SLT = Second Life Time. This is the time displayed at the top right. It is the time events are listed in search. It is also US Pacific Time zone or -8 GMT. It is the default time for anything in Second Life that is not specified in alternate time zone. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivanova Shostakovich Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 (edited) I recently got done upgrading a world clock I made 9 years ago. I changed it to mesh, reducing LI and made it Daylight Savings time accurate until 2030. An EU friend told me the other day the EU has decided to do away with DST. It figures. Edited October 21, 2018 by Ivanova Shostakovich Because wording was chronologically inaccurate. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I knew what SLT stood for, I was just verifying it meant Pacific time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivanova Shostakovich Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 For the Halloween party at the Hangout, we still have two shifts open for hosts. Party Hosts welcome the guests and if there's a performer during the shift, assist with streaming setup. If you're interested in being a host, the available shifts are SLT noon to 2:00 PM, and 10:00 PM to midnight. We have a simple google doc for signing up. It can be found here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
