People should put down their own thoughts as they apeared - meaning - every time you made a pause in your thinking there should be a punctuation. This will lead to grammatically incorect sentances, but will improve on comunication (in general).
I respectfully disagree. I don't think that having everyone write in a stream-of-consciousness style would improve communication at all - I believe it would have the opposite effect, in fact. This is why nobody has ever said, "I've never read a novel that was easier to understand than Joyce's Ulysses," at least not without a hefty dose of sarcasm.
