Punctuation, and other things
1) Multiple exclamation marks. As Douglas Adams said, they are clearly the work of a diseased mind.
2) Misuse of the apostrophe. There is no excuse.
3) Misuse of pronouns. You like "them shoes", do you? Do you really? Try 'those'.
And, in a wholly unrelated peeve, if anyone moves my games, records, DVDs, or CDs so that they're no longer in alphabetical order, I simply cannot leave until it's been corrected.

Is innaccurate information. It was Terry Pratchett who said what you said about multiple exclamation marks, in the book Reaper Man.
