What things do people do on message boards that drive you absolutely bonkers?

 

-Signing your name! Seriously people, we know who you are, you don't have to put your name or stupid nickname after every post.

Getting drawn into an argument with someone who doesn't read

Bad grammar is the worst.

Not knowing the difference between then and than, lose and loose, and not knowing that "alot" isn't a word. It's "a lot".

 

Just stuff that makes me think that kids aren't being taught anything in school.

Dominant and dominate.

Do you mean like typing in incomplete sentences?

Your fantasy team.

Obviously, that must not bother me as much as the stuff I mentioned.

 

Do you mean like typing in incomplete sentences?

The incorrect usage of to/two/too, your/you're and there/their/they're.

When people make a larger mistake like "except" for "accept."

 

I could care less about smaller mistakes that are obviously just minor typos or brain farts, but when people use a completely different word just because it sounds similar frustrates me.

People who confuse "I could care less" with "I couldn't care less."

Allie is pretty great.

 

She's slowed down to one post a month, though.

Yeah, I check back every week hoping to be surprised with another gem.

People who don't know where the apostrophes are supposed to go.

 

It's the '80s, not the 80's. Also, '10 stands for 2010. It is not 10'. That would be 10 feet.

I hate when people quote super long posts.

People who break Godwin's Law.

Someone who makes a brilliant post, then someone replies with "Agreed" or "What he/she said" or the ever popular "^^^^^^^^^."

 

Balta's call about the fantasy team is a good one too.

^^ It's a message board, I am not going to go through and re-read every post to make sure I have the correct usage, punctuation, etc.
