    Not sure if this classifies under grammar (more of formatting), but I hate wall of texts. Without proper capitals and punctuations. And bad grammar usually goes along with it.

    Then again, my own grammar literally getting from bad to worse.

    I'm not overly concerned about other people making grammatical errors in their type. This is because I understand that on the internet, a lot of the time, I'm conversing with people that may know English as their second language. However I do get quite annoyed if I make mistakes.

    That said, I do dislike the overuse of italics in type. I also detest the use of double exclamation marks (!!) in printed media such as advertisement posters and what not. On the internet I can somewhat stand the double or even triple exclamation mark as it can be slightly humorous.

    Haha, that post just reads twat. That is the problem with grammar, it can often make you look like a right fudd. And I've probably still made errors.

    Edit: I forgot the best part of grammatical mistakes is when the grammer police come along and tell you your grammer is incorrect. Hahaha, idiots.

    I like to put the apostrophe in ya'll in the middle of the word instead of after the y it just looks more balanced that way!

    I like to put quotation marks in the most inappropriate places just to confuse people.

    None of it bothers me unless it is a complete catastrophe of a sentence. I'm talking to the point I cannot understand it. Otherwise I don't give a smurf.

    The only time I find it amusing is when people get holier-than-thou, acting like they're a smurfing genius, when they're not.

    There's an excuse for that one though.


    It's Youtube.

    I love how they always fail at grammar, spelling or punctuation in the sentence(s) that have a go at the other person's grammar, spelling or punctuation. There's some justice in that

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
    Trying to catch me riding dirty.
