It's not about the taste. It's supposedly about the evenness of the cooking.
That said, it oughtn't be a major thing they need to shout about.
OMG!!!. Don't get your knickers in a twist.
Those emails are deliberately written that way to filter out semi-intelligent people who might eventually decide that transferring lots of money to Africa is not a good idea and in the process waste the spammers time.
Anyone using OMG
But it doesn't, that's the point.
Take as an example. "I installed a new sales system at the company this week and I've been dealing with user complaints all day - we need less stupid people at this place." If used correctly then it means the company has workforce that's low on intelligence, if used incorrectly, it means that the company has some people who are bright but some workers who aren't: they're not the same thing at all.
I do take the general point that grammar and spelling shouldn't matter too much but they do when poor spelling/grammar create confusion.

Players who do knee-slides when they score. Nearly all of them do it nowadays.

You're ruthless...
1. The sound of someone scoffing crisps with their mouth open.
2. ********s not overtaking, whilst in the middle or outside lanes of dual carriageways/M-Ways, when there's plenty of space for them in the inside lane.

People who say "It is what it is". A bloke I work with often ends discussions with: "It is what it is, but, hey ho, ours is not to reason why."

Why's that a problem? You gotta do what you gotta do.

Didn't Knocky try to do one once, where he didn't slide, so to save face just walked along on his knees?!
Absolutely. It has even infected Radio 4.
Also, replies to a question with "Yes. No.". The professional sporting fraternity have gone large on that one.
"Can I get". No you ****ing can't. The assistant will "get it". You stay this side of the counter.
Incorrect use of apostrophes.

The inconsiderate and rude behaviour of foreign students
Mothers who ignore their kids when they are talking to them because they are obsessed with their mobile 'phones
Nicky Campbell (hmm...not appropriate. He is much more than a small irritation)
Shop / counter assistants who ask:
1) "Do you want any bags today?". If I did I am more than capable of asking for them and the fact I have just plonked my opened rucksack on the counter probably suggests I don't.
2) Do you want to buy XXXX today?". I explain to them that I am a big boy now and my mummy says that if I want XXXX today, I can ask for it
3) Do you want fries / drink with that?" FFS. Why can't they understand that if I wanted fries / a drink I would bloody order them
