Seriously, Facebook, what the steaming shitting fuck were you thinking when you enabled Enter to post a comment on your website? While the entire human race is hardly properly versed in the absolute correct manner in which to use paragraphs, people know that hitting Enter (or Return, depending on your operating system’s key layout) gives you a carriage return. This has been the way since typewriters, you absolute buffoons.

But no. Facebook’s decided that it’s a bit much effort for people to write a post and then—shock!—have to confirm they want it posted by clicking or tapping a post button. Now, Enter does that job. Brilliant! This won’t at all lead to:

• millions of users posting in error, deleting, rewriting and then posting again;
• lots of people wondering where the hell the post button has gone and thinking Facebook is broken;
• a lack of nicely formatted long posts, since no-one will know how to create paragraphs.

“Aha,” says Facebook’s simpleton UI designer, “I’ve got that covered. Just use Shift and Enter!” It’s at this point that I’m glad said designer isn’t in the room, because I would not be responsible for my actions. Shift and Enter for a carriage return? Wow, that’s discoverable, you cretinous pea-brained halfwits. What next? Will we have to hold Control and Shift to get a capital letter, because Shift and a letter on its own will delete your privacy settings? How about Shift and Backspace to delete something, because Backspace on its own will remove your entire account?

In short: GAH.
