Slowtwitch Pet Peeve: Don't you hate it when

…someone uses an annoying “teaser” line in the subject to try to get you to read their message? This also makes it harder to do a good search since the subject matter of the post doesn’t show up in the title.

Request for the day: Please use titles that describe what you’re talking about.

Thanks and flame away.

Yup, that really annoys me. Almost as much as really long and meaningless signature files.

People CAPITALIZING, or balding, or underlining words for emphasis. It’s an insult to the reader’s reading comprehension skills - unless of course you do mean to be insulting… :wink:

I think you meant BOLDING.

“It’s an insult to the reader’s reading comprehension skills”

you haven’t mistaken ST for some other forum have you? :slight_smile:

Hahaha. Yes, I deed. :wink:

no…he hates people that are folicly (sp) challenged…

No, he meant balding. It is much more annoying to be** balding than bolding.**


IS THIS ANNOYING???
.

Oh. And, quoting the entire previous post a la Frank Day.

Alex

insulting… :wink:
…or winks. A la 2 of your three posts in this this thread :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Now that we’re talking about pet peeves, mine is people that think that “…” or “…” is grammatically correct. HELLO, people, there’s only “…”

Oh, and Monk… look… :wink:

AFAIK and IMHO, colloquialisms are becoming a far and away much to oft used a device for that which is said to be otherwise not literal or perhaps, as much as, if not more so, a tedium to read, or rather interpret, what the writer was attempting to say.

Perhaps clarity and brevity is a better resource for making a point.
