Maybe the writer's period key wasn't working.
Seriously, I had a friend in college who wrote a term paper that was ALL ONE PARAGRAPH! Page after page, without a single indentation after the initial one. I was aghast! I told her, "Indent! Indent! Even if you don't know what a paragraph is, pretend that you do!"
She was Sue Lubin, a very talented girl musically, who used to write and record little songs, some of which made it to the Dr Dememto show. I admit I envy her musical talent. If anyone knows about her--where she is, what she's doing, etc--pls let me know.
