This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition! The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. [laughs] Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honour to meet you and you may call me "V".

Brilliant!

Irregardless, alot of people use those.

Poor spelling and punctuation bother me because they make things hard to read.
The meaning is not always clear, and the errors are a distraction.

Honestly, people need to learn how to use the words: to, too, and two. It seriously drives me insane. Also, mispelling is something that gets under my skin. If you're not sure, how to spell something, look it up! There is absolutely no reason that Ferdinand and I have better grammar than some of the adults on this site/in the world. I know that this doesn't pertain to grammar, but I think that people that are not descriptive or interesting, when they type, I just want to slap them.
