Character 2: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
Character 3: Lol
Character 1: What is so funny about a cat sitting on a mat?
Character 2: Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs
Character 1 and Character 3 "Huh?"
Great for putting on a play, but made it harder for me at least to read and follow. Now I know I am not Mr perfection, but I would like to think I use a more correct style and format for story telling.

Sorry about the lesson in written English, but for me I was not able to follow TiBBenders partly due to the format used. Of course if style has moved on, as the English language evolves and I am anachronistic, let me know.

I understand where you are coming from Sticks, but basically i believe that for people who sometimes cannot really be bothered to read, a script style is a lot easier. I Love reading books with a script style layout, such as "An Inspector calls" Because i can really focus on the story and i know who is speaking and when
