;GrA,mMaR.!

Some guy sent this mail into a group yesterday. Now if there is a good example of how not to use grammar, then this must be it.

I today from the bottom of my heart; Wish U dear Friend; a Very Happy Diwali & a Prosperous New Year!!!!!Shubh Deepavali aur Nutan Varsh Abheenandan!

I count 2 missing commas, 2 semicolons in the wrong place, 6 exclamation marks, 8 randomly "titlecased" words, an incorrect abbreviation and a whole different language... all in one sentence (I think). Agreed that grammar is like statistics... a freakin lie. But this is pushing it, my friend....
Wish you all a happy new year and a glorious grammarification.
