Default Internet typing styles that annoy you?

I've been noticing a few styles that annoy me recently.

ALL CAPS is certainly a start, but it doesn't really annoy me too much. What annoys me more is when "People Always Capitalize The First Letter Of Each Word Even If It Isn't A Title Or Anything. They Even Capitalize The Words That Are Supposed To Be In Lowercase On Titles"

I also don't like it when people use internet speak for their ENTIRE message by shortening every word. Surely a few more taps on a keyboard isn't that much more energy consuming!

Are there any styles that annoy you? And don't put your entire post in it, because then you'd probably get told off by a mod.

lol, I noticed you did it nearly a year ago, I haven't really seen you do it recently. This isn't supposed to be an attack thread, it's more of just things that get on your nerves.

I don't like it when people make a whole sentence with abbreviations eg "Tbh imo, idk" Translation:"To be honest in my opinion I don't know!"

I hate it when people type like:

"thisandtheydontusespaces
&usecoolsymbols<3".

(Before someone says, I know Darenn does this, but he does it in a way thats grammatically correct and neat rather than just randomly doing it, so I like his style, haha).

Erm, also what you said Rory, about Capitalising Every Letter In The Sentence.

My own style annoys me too, it's so long and drawn out and boring. Yawn. And I also use a lot of brackets and side notes and things. Generally just not nice.

I also dislike text speech on the forum. On msn I expect it, but on the forum it annoys me, especially as it's against the rules.

When people CAPITALISE all the words.
When. People. Put. A. Full. Stop. After. Each. Word.
Americanism.
Some "text talk".

Me as well. It probably takes them three times the amount of time it takes us to type regularly.

Mainly Text talk annoys me.

I think my style might annoy people with the heavy use of exclamation marks so I try to limit myself to one or two per post.

When people change words. For example..
sexy = shecksi
gay = ghey

I don't mind LOL, LMAO, etc. because hahahahahhahahaha gets annoying.

I hate capitalising every word too. There's no need for it. =S Something else I hate is when people take a new line every like 6 words, like this:

I am now complaning
About typing styles
That annoy me.

It looks like a poem =S General grammatical errors annoy me too. e.g. your & you're, its & it's, where & were etc. I accept text speech to a certain level.

I was about to say "...but...but.. that's me!"
Thanks Lauren, I wouldn't do it all the time.
I could see how it'd get annoying.

As for me; I find the ALL CAPS and Capitalizing Every Word thing irritating.
I also hate the poem style thing.

I hate it when people put kisses after every sentence, it looks so messy (I've also seen one or two people use it for thread titles).

basically what everyones said,captials,'msn talk' as i like to call it,i use abreviations such as lyk or k on msn but on forums i hate it.I can`t stand people who type in captials,there are one or two people on tibb who do it and its very annoying.Is the member trying to shout at me or something?Not too keen on people who put kisses after there post and also those who put about
three or four words
to every line
they type
because they think
it makes them look cool <3 -i also hate that stupid heart symbol
my main hate though has to be ppl who tlk lyk dis on der posts lyk omgggz ger mo owt da hse e iz propa borin innit.

I hate it when people use weirdmaker for their MSN names

This is the weirdmaker font



It also annoys me when people spell words incorrectly but if its shorthand I can see why, but they do it so it either has the same amount or more letters than the original!!

1. When people use ALL CAPITAL LETTERS.

2. When people use no punctuation in a sentence. eg: you know last night on big brother lisa kat rachel and mo are well fun ennit rex sucks

3. On msn when you don't have the msn that has coloured names so youy have all these &3465 $35 things.. not good.

I also find people spelling really simple words wrong but thats me :P lol
