Okay, my Rant: People who don't use any punctuation in their posts.

It doesn't have to be perfect punctuation, but when you use absolutely NO punctuation, your post does not make any sense at all!!!!!

Ugh I couldn't agree more. If I see what should be a paragraph, but it's typed as one huge sentence with no punctuation, I ignore it entirely. I don't have the time or patience to try to decipher that stuff.

I dont understand what you mean Whats wrong with not using punctuations again I mean it takes so much energy Dont you agree

ehehhehehe

...at least you threw in some capital letters, some don't even do that! ;)

then it looks like this and i have no clue where one thought starts and the next stop and sometimes it just makes no sense anyway because it's all random thoughts thrown together hey was that a squirrel that just ran by i really love squirrels but not as much as i love cats but sometimes my cat bites me bad kitty oh well maybe ill get a dog

The worst is the ghetto/text speech.

I agree with you.

My pet peeve is all of the initials and abbreviations people use . . . I don't understand what most of them mean.

I am not a big user of "smart" phones and text messages. So, I am usually unsure what people are saying when they talk / post in code. Ha~ :)

OK, I've always had this one pet peeve. It's not loosing weight, it's losing weight. It's not loose weight, it's lose weight. Loose means something is not attached. OK, I'm done.

here's my pet peeve: "I need advise" hello, you need advice, sheesh. sorry had to chime in and I'm probably guilty of running one big sentence together as a paragraph but that is the way my brain works. sorry.

Now, now, we need to support everyone, even our less eloquent friends....LOL

Remember these are computers and they do stop sometimes in the beginning, middle and end of a sentence or maybe someone just forgets it does happen, so maybe you can try to decipher what someone is trying to say , so just keep that in mind or maybe they don't spell it correctly , but hopefully most get the jest of what someone post or reply's .

Oh ya just for everbody's info., 411 and all that whatever my (M) key on my laptop get's stuck and if I am using my tablet my fingers don't work well on electronics, and if I am on my computer and don't have my glasses on as I am blind then, sometimes words don't come out the same.

OK' date=' I've always had this one pet peeve. It's not loosing weight, it's losing weight. It's not loose weight, it's lose weight. Loose means something is not attached. OK, I'm done.[/quote']THANK YOU ! It drives me insane. Also, too or to!

must be great to have this you number one concern for the day..wish it was mine..

LOL - great thread! I've thought this SO many times, and I'm to the point where I don't even bother with the run on sentences, or the grammatically ignorant posts. I'm always glad to give support, but if it's too much work to decipher the question or comment, I'm gone :blink:

When we're typing a lot of thoughts & info on these sites, certainly, we're going to slip on a word here & there. But there are a couple of posters in particular, that I wonder if their keyboard didn't come equipped with a period, or if when they press the period, it comes out as a comma. Boggles the mind......
