Are you allowed to get angry about the way someone types their posts on the forum? Asking for a friend.

    TRY STARTING EVERY POST WITH "SO" AND INSERTING THE WORD "EVEN" INTO SENTENCES AT RANDOM. OH, AND ALL-CAPS IS ALWAYS WORTH A TRY>

    I am absolutely rubbish with punctuation and grammar so I will apologise to anyone who might get frustrated by my postings. It's not a lazy thing it's a confusing thing.

    I'm pleased that it's not just me who has noticed the excess use of the word even. Is this something the the US has exported to us?

                        if
                      it is
                     some
                   annoying
                 quirk, prolly
                best to suck it
              up and move on.
           It's not a formal letter
            and some folks may
               not realise that
                 they have so
                     offended
                        you.

    Someone on another forum used to begin every post with his user name e.g.


    Paul_C

    Followed by what point he wanted to make, and it used to really annoy me for some reason.

    You'll have to narrow it down to the last half hour or so.

    That's probably worse than signing off with your real name!

    Angry, no.  Mildly humourously psychopathic, yes.  We are British after all....
