I'll have one of everything.

Have you ever been to a restaurant where everything on the menu looks so good that you just want to order one of everything?  Apparently, these folks feel the same way about punctuation:



"Yeah, I'll take a well-placed terminal comma, but I'd like to substitute a misplaced semicolon for the other comma, and I'll have a side of ellipses instead of a colon, please."

Except rather than ordering one of everything, it's like ordering spaghetti and meatballs with a tuna fish instead of one of the meatballs and peanut butter instead of garlic bread. It's a vomit-inducing plateful of poor punctuation choices.
