You know, one thing I'll never understand is how people use punctuation where it doesn't belong. Signatures are okay, and usernames, I'm okay with that (unless it's something along the lines of "XxravendemonbloodgothfallenangeldeathemovampirexX" or whatever). But it's when you're typing out messages and stuff that it really gets me. Not cute, not quirky, not cool. Same with double characters (whatever those are called). Actually kind of annoying. Like this.

Too, too much unnecessary punctuation. And "y00h?" wtf? Why use two & signs? Did you flunk English or something?

Cut the tildes. And can't you just use one smiley?

What are tildes for anyway? When not being used to put over letters, like this --->ã

Oh well. Some things I'll probably never learn.

which btw you all need to listen to The Feeling because they are the best band in the world.
