    I was taught to indent when starting a new paragraph.

    Wonderful I have a special sandwich made just for you.

    I just have to go get the ingredients: 
    Bacon
    Toasted buns
    American cheese
    Chives
    Avacado
    Mayo

      I wonder if the spelling of avocado is wrong that it doesn’t count?  Well, the mere thought of feeding me avocado and mayo is an indication that you’re rejecting my love for you. We’re finished!

    That is fine. But I already bought all this stuff. So just leave your tildes on the counter and I will go to the bank Monday to convert them.  ~ = $ Do you know the current exchange rate? This post was edited by my2cents at July 26, 2020 11:14 AM MDT

      You’ve been talking with Livvie, haven’t you?  I’m not giving up any tildes!  They can’t be exchanged at a bank!  Grrrrrrrr.

    No matter. Just leave them there. I will worry about the conversion later.

    That is what we learned back in the dark ages.  But I no longer indent unless for some special purpose.

    I rarely do. I always align to the left other than in some legal documents or outlines.

    I don't because rarely are my questions and answers more than one paragraph or sentence.

    I indent when I'm writing something on paper or printing something, but I don't indent internet posts just because nobody else does.  When I'm online I just break paragraphs where I think it looks good, which is what just about everybody else does.  If I'm writing something on paper or printing something, then I'll break paragraphs where a subject changes and I'll make sure each paragraph has at least three sentences.
