I wrote a supporting response a while back but it didn’t appear for some reason. I share your frustration and not just a little disdain for WordPress who is supposed to serve just this purpose for authors of various stripes. Whoever programmed this to dictate what standard English format has to be didn’t have literature or aesthetics in mind. When I did a simple search for standard English formats the rules were very clear that the first line of each paragraph should be indented. The irony is that some of these informative sites were not allowed to indent the first line of the paragraphs explaining the rule. My question though is this: I’m imagining that WordPress isn’t perusing these forums for good suggestions on how to improve their platform. That said, how do we get them to pay attention and address the problem? I’m sure we could get a hundred English scholars to rap their knuckles with a ruler until they fixed this.It really is absurd–not to mention aggravating (I seem to have just mentioned it). With hope my comments will get posted.
