Pet Peeve
<RANT>
One simple word: PUNCTUATION
I really can't stand the fact that some people don't find using proper punctuation, and at least passible spelling the least bit important. My eyes want to bleed when I look at some of the posts lately.

What about correct spelling?
You spelled passible wrong...it is passable assuming that is the word you were looking for.

If that is the least of your worries - yippee. Some people don't have good spelling or punctuation capabilities. They do the best they can. Even highly educated folks can make errors from time to time
