I like msn, It's the only good thing micro$oft has made. But the people who use it are...well, not exactly up to scratch on what is annoying to the rest of the world. So here is the definitive guide on how not o annoy people on msn.

1. GREEK TEXT IS NOT COOL!

Infact, whenever I see it, I want to die. But I see it on bebo, MSN and the like. And trust me, spelling out your name (or those of your friends) DO NOT LOOK COOL IN ANYWAY!  It looks DISGUSTING, CONFUSING AND TACKY!

2. Simplify your display name:

My personal one at the moment is "[Shedtroll Amaranth] Fancy visual Effects do not protect you". People may choose just their name, or maybe a shot saying or even a line from a poem. What I have a problem with is the ones that go "BOB&DAVE&CARA&BUGSY&ANDSYBOMBABOMBABOMBA(yn)(L)(yn)(L)(yn)(L)(yn)(L)". not only are they confusing, random and all round retarded, they are also confusing and an eye sore.

3. Put brackets around your personal emoticon triggers:

Is that so hard to do? When someone types "Hi" I don't want it in sparkly text! I have custom emoticons but I put brackets around triggers so they do not replace words!

4. Speak English:

Text language is for text messaging, so take the extra one second to type out your messages in FULL ENGLISH. It's not hard to do!

5. Don't click those 'find you who's blocking you' or 'OMG look at this sexy pic' messages:

Incase you haven't noticed, those are viruses. They spread via MSN, So I also recommend you get some Anti Virus software!

Thank you for reading....
