    Constant abbreviating, poor grammar and forum-gangsta slang are my biggest pet peeves, but general post formatting is right up there. Nothing like a giant block of text or 10 thoughts crammed into one run-on sentence to make me just move right along to the next post. Quoting entire posts when only a line or two is needed to make the point grates on me as well.

    Why so picky? I guess it must be all the paper writing/editing in did in college to get the golden ticket that is a liberal arts degree...
    All of that stuff drives me nuts too.
    I don't like the Yankees, I like the Red Sox, I don't like the Lakers, I like the Celtics, I hate the Canadiens and I love the Bruins. Soccer is the best sport on Earth, but most Americans are too ignorant to realize it. I am American.

      Nothing more aggravating to see someone quote a mega-post only to say,






      "ditto"

          I don't abbreviate and I don't have exceptionally long messages.

          If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

            I don't text period. I use skype and that sort of stuff to talk to people, but I can't stand text messaging. There's not enough keys to make a normal keyboard and having to hit the same number multiple times to get the desired letter makes me go crazy!

            If I want to talk to somebody, I'll call them.

              Like others said, I don't abbreviate or cut words. I just make sure to get my point across in 160 characters and hit send.

              I'm not using text messaging to have conversations, anyway. It's to make a quick point and get on with my life.

              What really bothers me (having limited messaging) is the people that send one word replies by text. Don't send me "Ok" or "Bye" via text. It's a waste of my messages and you said a whole lot of nothing.

                Nope I just figure they are 10 years younger than me and are used to texting....or just not used to doing scholarly work.

                    I get bored at work, a lot. So this happens. Not to say I am hilarious.

                    Plus I hate it when people type with out the english language involved.

                      X 2 on the bored at work.

                      It also gives me something to discuss while I'm avoiding the "OMG IAN WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS!?!?!?!?!?" threads in the Madden NFL Forum.

                          As long as it isn't a wall of text and periodless i'll usually be okay with it.

                                Yes, it does bother me a little although it helps to determine who the mature and older posters are real quick.

                                I hate the overuse of acronyms and short forms more though. Please use real sentences and paragraphs with half way decent spelling if possible.
