My main problem with them is related to the fact that I tend to "hear" people's voices in my head when I am reading their words. When sentances end with a series of dots, the voice in my head kind of trails off and the thought is never completed.
Maybe it's neurotic, but "hearing" that constantly drives me absolutely bonkers.
There are a few other things I find a little annoying -- I can handle people who never use capitals or Type Only In Titles, people who abuse tab keys a la TSM, or even Cusraque's old stylized poetry. People who don't break up their paragraphs, or all caps are harder to read, but the ellipses habit is is the one thing that seriously bugs me.

Sorry Eileen. It had to come out some day. :-)
