    Why is it that whenever I use proper punctuation, Y!A complains that I

    "seem to be using a lot of punctuation"? Also, if I have 21 words in a question, it tells me I have 21 misspellings, even when every one is spelled correctly?

    Why do people use "LOL" as punctuation?

    It seems that these days "lol" doesn't mean what it used to and now is just used to end a sentence. I find this somewhat annoying, about as annoying as teenagers who say "like" constantly. Why is this done?

    Why does Yahoo complain when you use a lot of punctuation?

    "Whoa! You used a lot of punctuation. Try revising your question." "Hmm...it looks like you have a lot of punctuation." I was taught that the quality of punctuation is important. No one ever said that the number of parentheses and commas indicated good or bad usage of punctuation.
