    I see the usual 'clarkson-esque' vitriol directed at Rooney which I deem to be; crass partisan ignorance of the most egregious nature. It seems to be ubiquitous on BBC comments boards and flows undoubtedly from the least articulate and most blindly prejudice 'minds' that claim to support England's football team of which Rooney has been a consistently effective part for almost a decade."

    @485 I say, never have I witnessed such incredible misuse of the semi-colon! When you throw 'big words' into syntax, presumably to convey your apparent unparalleled wealth and deft grasp of the English language, it seems to fall firmly flat on its arse when the mysterious and ill-formed appearance of a semi-colon finds itself gratuitously slicing a clause in half."

    Forget borderline racist and homophobic language - it;s all about semi-colons.

    EDIT: Oh and I forgot all the sexist language. (video contains liberal use of the 'f' word).

    Rightly said too. You can tell poster A is a pretentious terrrwat. He's dug out the most ludicrously overblown words in order to look authoratative. However his punctuation looks like someone took a pinch of symbols and scattered them over his text.

    You can tell that poster A is either an estate agent or a rubbish lawyer.

    He deserved everything he got.

    JamadaCOSTA, so at least we know where he works, barristas who take their job far far too seriously and importantly always seem pretentious to me; essentially and literally you're making the goddamn coffee.

    Surely the hyphenated 'clarkson-esque' merits a capital?
