He doesn't just sound like one; he is one.

I'm going to stop replying to posts that are written ineligibly from now on. 

This appears to be a new sense of "ineligibly" previously unknown to English. Did you, perchance, mean "unintelligibly"?

Until they learn how to write properly, they won't be getting my response.

As a threat, that's up there with "stop or I'll give you chocolate".

I find your use of the word perchance to be both long-worded and verbose!  And long-worded, too, also.  And redundant to some extent.

I was going to point that out also but was thinking he meant "illegible".

Now I'm not sure if there should be a comma in my sentence before the word "but" . . . I am suddenly unsure of myself. And self-conscious.

Yikes, started a sentence with and....

Oops, and a new paragraph with no new topic.

I think Liszt would be proud of this post. It gives me a Liszt feel.
