I couldn't tell you how many posts I've read on these forums that were completely unintelligible. It's often far worse than just spelling errors and bad grammar, I've read a few that I'd swear were posted by monkeys.

And that is insulting a Monkey too.

Example of a recent email:

Hi, hope you have a nice day***
beautiful*** day here!
M*A*R*Y*

Made it up but get the point?
What's going on with that***???
Is this the new "cheerful"?
Just wondering

the asterisks usually block out a word that is in the website database as prohibited, or someone could just be ******* with you.
