...You CamelCase proper names ...Boolean operators instead of punctuation ...Lots and lots of nested parentheses...
Using brackets inside a parenthesized phrase (like [this] one) just looks wrong, even though it's stylistically correct.

quite... ...you realize that the person reading the email is opening it with Lotus Notes and you wonder how your html mail body will be rendered.

Don't get me started. The POS who wrote Notes uses the Internet Explorer WebBrowser ActiveX control to render HTML, but they intercept and modify the HTML before they pass it to the control. Morons.

... You create an abstract email, and then a concrete version and wonder why nobody understands either ... You have one recepient and 20 interface to recipients ... You get a spellcheck error and look for a debug window to find out why ... You write posts titled You've been coding too long when... ... You contribute answers to posts titled You've been coding too long when...

And you worry about a stack overflow from the infinite recursion that results.

You're typing an email and you press Escape then: - you press W to go to the next word... - you press $ to go to the end of the line... - you press x multiple times to delete that little mistake you just made... And last but not least... Your spell check keyboard shortcut is :w:ksh -n % It's not just .NET that's addictive, you know. :-D

I would find myself hitting Alt-F S out of habit on long emails to "save" the "document" (one of those habits one learns early when using this ultrareliable technology we have). On some email programs, that sends the email, so I used to send a lot of unfinished emails. Marc

if you write x/y (at school!) you wonder if it's floating point or integer division when_you_separate_words_with_the_underline_character when your school notebook begins with coding header (eg. UTF-8) when you want to find a fragment in a book you scream "CTRL+F! CTRL+F!!" (no, really, I do xD)
