In the light of a previous question with a similar title, I begin. I find wordiness to be frustrating. When someone posts a question in a forum, especially in a forum related to topical discussion and centered around the exchange of questions and answers, it is especially frustrating when their title is followed by a long diatribe that highlights the questionable grasp of the poster of said "quesition" upon the rules and subtleties of the English language. Wordiness, especially of the rambling type to which I am subjecting you, the reader, at this time often serves no purpose except to make the poster of the "question" feel good about themself. "If I did all that typing, I must be making a valid point," seems to be the rationale behind such posts.
Does the fact that Yahoo gives a questioner 1000 characters to work with for a given question make some people feel obligated to use all of them? Also, on the opposite end of the spectrum, why do people ask multiple questions? Do you?
