lucid?��Well, you might also ask, do capital letters make the
writing�anymore clear? Or spaces between words? True, if you ask�a question
like, "He's going to the store?", you need the question�mark, otherwise you
don't know if it's a question or a statement,�but with a question like,
"Who's the king of Spain?", certainly�you don't.��In my opinion, all of
it is for the benefit of the reader. Having�read Samuel Beckett's The
Unnamable, I certainly can appreciate�what paragraph breaks do for the reader
(the book features a�90 page long paragraph. It's torture). The same can be
said of�capital letters, spaces, punctuation, and spelling (sorry, John
V.).�It's easier on the eyes, easier on the brain, and allows the�message
(which is the important part) to come through more�clearly.��Also, if you
have a punctuation system in place, then you can�use its absence to your
advantage--or any other system, for�that matter. For example, if I type
something in ALL CAPS,�it's easy to see that I'm placing special emphasis on
it, WHEREAS�IF I ALWAYS WROTE IN ALL CAPS, WHAT COULD I DO�FOR EMPHASIS?
