    They make my eyes bleed. I'm not the kind of guy to start harping on spelling a word right or using perfect grammar or anything like that, but these...yuck.

    And here's another one

    A SENTENCE HAS TO END SOMETIME OR ANOTHER

    I'm Dutch. And this just annoys me. I don't care about being 'correct' and all that, you don't have to check and re-check your post to make sure there aren't any errors in it.

    You also don't have to poke a hole in your head and let your brain mush trickle out one half-sentence at a time.
