What annoys you to no end?
Curt:
- always a pleasure to read your posts, Sarah :-)

I can add that it annoys me to no end when a program offers to 'import' my audio files, but without any warning then starts re-writing the tags! (J. River Media Center 14).
Also, I was annoyed, (but hardly to no end), when I politely requested a feature for my R-Drive backup program and was told that I have had a trial period; end of story!
Target:
As long as it's not being pointed out to writers, it will just become more and more accepted.
I think Carol has described this before as, 'entropy'.-SKesselman (January 17, 2010, 05:44 PM)

Personally I think atrophy might be closer than entropy :P
Personally, grammar & punctuation errors only bother me if I sense that a post is inconsiderate to the reader, in general.
Infrequent errors are inevitable, but lack of structure, rambling, etc., are signs of thoughtlessness IMO.
It's the writer's job - not the reader's - to make a post or article understandable.

agreed, but lets put it in context - poor grammar and/or spelling may be inevitable and accepted in a personal blog or web page, but they are unforgivable in text produced by professional writers.

I would award you a trophy but it might be wasted were you to decline.

Another universal truth!
