Words & Wordplay - October 2007

I know why I give negative points to certain answers.

Appalling spelling or grammar or incoherent writing.

( I dont just mean one or two spelling or typing errors
I mean seriously bad mangled prose! )

Going off topic.

Posting some remark or saying you agree with the poster just to get points.

Using your answer as an excuse to tell some one to change to another religion.

What other reasons do you have to give negative points to an answer?

Try to beat this palindrome. It needs to make sense. In other words not just a collection of words.

" I get really annoyed when people push in front of me in the queue at the supermarket checkout."
A person won't get annoyed as people in front of him push at a checkout, will he?
