non sequitur is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Illiteracy

One of my pet peeves with internet message boards is people who butcher the English language. I propose an automatic two day ban for anyone who uses the non-existent words "noone" or "alot". I would also propose a formal reprimand for anyone who confuses the words "imply" and "infer", with an automatic 1 day suspension for a second offense.

Your right. That happens alot. Or when people use "1" when they should use "one". It happens irregardless of you're level of education.
