There are three that are the main ones,I'll use the same sentence in all examples:

1) Shouting by typing in caps-(example) HEY GUYS EISLEY RULES,THE GIRLS ARE SO HOT!!!!

2) Text speak like you do on a cell phone (example) -ay guyz eizlee roolz,da gurlz r so hawt!!

3)Random capitalization (example)- hEy guYS eIsLEy RulEs,the giRlS Are So hOt


Me personally I don't mind the first one but the other two drive me insane.

why not create a poll?

Edit: I'd have liked to be able to choose the random caps too, but I had to go with the text type. Looks like it's pretty overwhelming so far.

I am most annoyed by posts where every word is spelled wrong.
When it gets to a point where you feel that you are trying to
solve a puzzle is when it gets annoying.

The "text speak" thing. A little is ok, but in bunches? Gah. Mad

i chose "other", becuase although i hATE SHOUTING FOR THE SAKE OF IT (and some people don't even realise they're shouting..grrrr Twisted Evil ) i hate it whenpeople substitute symbols for letters.. what's the point in that?

take this example. i haven't even read it (from a faceparty account)

"ø°º ¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤øø°º ¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤øø°º ¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤øø°º ¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤øø°º ¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤øø°º .oO*'^†^'*Oo. Thanks to everyone who rates me.. there's nothing like finding out you're a purple sex kitten or a pin up first thing in the morning Wink *.*purrrr*.* .oO*'^†^'*Oo. .oO*'^†^'*Oo. LiTtLe mIsS MuPpEt sAt oN HeR TuFfEt sMoKiNg a oUnCe oF WeEd aLoNg cAmE A SpIdEr sKiNnEd uP BeSiDe hEr aNd sOlD HeR A KiLo oF SpEeD .oO*'^†^'*Oo. ø°º ¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤øø°º ¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤øø°º ¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤øø°º ¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤øø°º ¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤øø°º "

that's me done.
