So I'm surfing all these blogs, right? And I swear I can't make heads or tails of the sentences. Are people just totally not proofreading these days? Or is my browser somehow rendering the text wrong? Or is my brain just unable to process words?....

One example:

A recent thread at Typophile ponders what might be used as apunctuation mark to express irony. The suggestion so far, picking things up from here and here (that last one's a French Wikipedia article, in case wants to leave a translation in the comments), is to use something like a backwards question mark, based on the Arabic question mark. Frankly, I think using a normal piece of Arabic punctuation when want to suggest you don't really mean what you say could turn out to be really, really bad form.

Also, Bush is on tv now talking about the war and stuff. OMG does he suck.
