I hate punctuation abuse.

I "like" this. It's "cool."

My mom puts parentheses around the main points in sentences. I have tried for at least a decade to explain to her why this is wrong, but to no avail. She will also put exclamation points in the middle of sentences and abbreviate short words or words that are not normally abbreviated. Reading her emails is a challenge.

I, too, dislike punctuation abuse.

Punctuation abuse gives me a headache.

the worst one i have ever seen
is a newsagent in a place called hearsall. it's called:

hearsall new's

*slowly shakes head*

This pains me second only to people using the word "loosing" instead of "losing". Frickin' loosers.
