Random capitalization is the worst out of those, but there are many other forms of text and forum abuse I can't stand...

The misuse of homonyms (whether, weather) makes me laugh, but out of the four it annoys me the most.

Homonyms is a cool word.

One of my Favourite word's is "acronymns". Misuser's' are Referred two as "acriminals".

DEATH BY FIRING SQUAD should be reserved for those typing in "txt" or "l33t" speak.

Seriously, all the options in your post are massively irritating.
My own personal failure (apart from writing unadulterated drivel) is double letters - I'm very bad at them. Something to do with a combined language upbringing, probably.

Or mustard in a squeeze bottle. Always too much or too little. Or plugged. I long for the days when you bought your mustard in an open neck jar.
