Do you know what annoys me?

[Aaron Clifford]

When people put spaces between punctuation marks like this .

And as an example , like this , and this , and this .

Please feel free to read the above article .

Add on people who double line space everything

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

 

[binny]

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.

Neither , of


these things

bother me at all . Only

the people who broadcast, their minor

grievances on public forums, annoy me .

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

 

[Sam]

Yeah i agree its very petty.

What's petty about it, it's a general forum for general observations is it not?

People called Xanthe and Zebedee - or even Abraham and Adam - are probably annoyed by people called Aaron always coming ahead of them in lists sorted by first name.

I used to hate the BBC Education correspondent Mike Baker because, as correspondent for a second-division topic in the overall scheme of things, he received far more namechecks on the BBC website homepage than Premier-league journalists such as John Simpson and Michael Buerk. Thankfully - and I genuinely hope nothing has happened to him - he doesn't seem to appear so frequently these days.

As a newcomer, I'm still learning about the forum. It's good to know this is the section for trivial rambling wibble : I feel at home here !

Regards,
David (4/26 or 79/576)

 

[WealdDomains]

Oops 79/676 - sorry, I got 24 squared and 26 squared mixed up

 

[doodlebug]

Guilty of both, so sue me

I dare you !

You can read what I say can't you, surely you can, wink wink

Personally, I find it extremely annoying that one has to leave so much whitespace in web documents, and write short sentences, because otherwise people do not absorb the information you put on the page.

It is my personal belief that the whole affair is a plot dating back to the Bush years, because George Dubya wanted everything to be on a level HE could understand ...

Don't be silly, he can't read.

People not knowing the difference between loose and lose gets on my tits. How difficult can it be.

 

[Sussexite]

• Famine
• War
• Torture
• Poverty
• Injustice

are the main things that annoy me.

Punctuation and grammatical errors are a fair bit further down the list.

They don't annoy me too much, as long as they know the difference between loose teeth, or losing a leg in conflict/war/torture. I'm quite happy for all you have listed to continue in this world, as long as the reporters get the grammar and punctuation correct.

Excellent - like it

...torture isn't as stylish as it used to be. Everyone seems to be in such a hurry these days.

i think local councils losing so many millions to icelandic banks then try and screw us all by chopping jobs and services...

being better off sitting on the dole than working is another...

having open borders and supporting them is another...

council leaders paid more than the Prime Minister is another...

pizza leaflets posted through my door daily...yes daily (i'm dieting and have a cheese and wheat intolerance) think of the rainforests pleeeaaseee

losing good men(soldiers) in foreign countries is another....all for oil

and the biggest one of all is.....My missus parents,wow now they are something special paid a deposit on a house when they was 19/20 years old given by there parents and been unemployed ever since and paid for by every taxpayer in the Country...even had an extension built by the Council (overcrowding) even though they had a Mortgage on it....it is now paid in full so on behalf of my missus's parents i would like to thank all taxpayers for paying for her mortgage,also paying for them to eat out at pub's every day whilst the children have no food......and the incapacity benefit because she chipped a tooth at the dentist 10 years ago(he also gets carers allowance)....oh wait for it.....and you can also buy paintings from them for £2k a pop if you wish just PM me for info (no don't) ,and don't try and report it because they are not interested...

double line spaces and grammer

by the way me and my missus have worked our entire life,she qualified for teaching whilst we was homeless and had two kids under 3.......how the other half live heh....
