Wow. I just noticed someone who added me to friends, had **THE** absolute worst section I have ever read here.

*twitches*

Sure, the background is nice, avatar is nice... The once you get to the words, you'll explode.

My head a'splode! gonk

So uh, a few things wrong with her profile right off the bat:
1) The background. I'm on the brink of a seizure.
2) Her utter ignorance of the pronoun "I". Girly, listen: You're not mysterious. You're not Sybil with 16 different personalities. Stop slaughtering the third-person.
3) Does she not know how to comment on other user's profiles?

The sad part is, she's kind of cute. In an adorable way. I hate to see another stereotypical example of "beauty sans brains".

Okay, the background is giving me a headache, and it doesn't help I am sick to begin with.. *pulls over trash can*

And I CANNOT STAND people who type like that. I feel like commiting murder with a typewriter... It causes physical agony, AGONY for me to read it..

The alternating lower-case/upper-case was the first thing I noticed, too. What the bloody hell is the point of that? Damn, that is annoying. Add to that the text talk and you have a linguistic nightmare. I think it's funny that someone actually pointed out the use of it down in her comments section, but sadly she would be the type of person that thinks it is a form of self-expression. Also down in the comments: someone used "chu" for "you". scream Will someone stab them, please? They need it.

I really don't understand why people talk like that at all. I mean, its your profile, don't you want people to be able to read what you wrote about yourself? neutral

By the Emperor, that took too long to type. Way easier if the person just typed normally. Its at least a BIT more bearable with her comments she's done on my page.

My eyes hurt... gonk

While I agree that the spelling is atrocious, the seemingly random capital letters are actually a pattern of sorts - only 'e's and 'o's are capitalized, no other letters. While it is most certainly rape of the eyes, it's not entirely eithout reason, apparently.

Just felt like pointing that out.

I just hate it when people do the uppercase/lowercase thing. It pisses me off because one, it's so very pointless, and two, they're usually typing incorrectly when they do that.
