Note to editorial purists like myself: I'm ignoring the five writing errors in the above because it contains good points.
The sad part is that many of the people breaking these rules don't even understand them. One thing that debates on the internet have revealed is that many people who are, shall we say, "not that bright" still love to spout uninformed opinions at the drop of a hat.
... which perhaps renders all that moot for the worst offenders, eh?

Note: I'm not saying that all people who are disagree with me are stupid - that's not true - but it's fairly easy to tell from just a brief exchange whether or not the person has the intellect to grasp what you're saying to them. If their reply is a logical rebuttal: good. If their reply is an incoherent mess that doesn't even address your point (which has apparently flown over their head): bad.
Just my thoughts for the day! ;)
