I have become increasingly annoyed by the stupid things that people say when replying or posting new topics.
Here are some of the worst:
1. Capitalising Every Letter On A Post.
I see this more and more, and I don't understand it. Why would you take the time to press shift that many times? It just seems odd that people would put in the extra effort to make their grammar wrong?
2. Putting Apostrophe's in strange place's.
I see LOADS of people do this, even admins and moderators.
e.g:
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
It just makes me wonder how these people even passed school. I mean fair enough, missing out grammar to save time. I am fine with that, but when people ADD IN EXTRA, WRONG characters, it BLOWS MY MIND!
Do people think it looks smart, or makes them look more clever? Well it doesn't. You use apostrophes when you either miss out a letter, or when its posessive! POSESSIVE!!!
e.g:
I like mike's hat!
NOT THIS:
I had record sale's!
That is the same as saying "I had record sale is!". Does that make sence? NO! So stop saying stupid s^!% like that!
Rant over.

I Know It Is Very Annoying Isn't It, Well That's Just Life Deal With It. You Do Know This Is The Internet.
People do it with posts to make them stand out and more people might look at that posts.

Actually, an 's has two meanings. It can mean ownership, or the word 'is.'
E.G.
Meaning the word 'is' - "It's done."
Ownership - "I like Mike's hat!" Showing ownership to one person
or
"The boys' room is messy." Showing ownership to more than one person

I do it sometimes, but why would it be annoying to you?
