Add on people who double line space everything, rather than just for paragraphs. It doesn't make their points any more relevant.

Maybe they don't know they're doing it, I don't know what double line spacing is, if I did it, I wouldn't know I was doing it, all I could guess at is that it's writing something like this.

Write something on this line..........
<leave this line blank>
<leave this line blank>
Carry on writing next line here..........

?

Don't think that's what you mean as nobody would write like that, give me an example

Although I call it double line spacing, what I mean is double <CR>. So they're putting a blank line between every line of text. Some seem almost frightened to continue typing so that their text automatically flows to another line automatically as part of a single multi-line paragraph.

I hate it when people start sentences with the words and, but or because. There is a BBC journo who writes on the website who starts every second sentence with the word but.

I've found him, he annoys the hell out of me.

Punctuation I agree with, and I think I know who Aaron is referring to...

Couldn't care less about double line spacing though unless it's completely unnecessary with literally just a few words on each line.

Couldn't help myself.

And I may have got away with my bad habit - of dividing - or pausing mid sentence. From an old speech writing habit
