Annoyance:
[Person's Name] is going to the mall and I am really not looking forward to it.
[Person's Name] is OMG CHRISTMAS!
[Person's Name] I want to go to the movies.
Do you see the problem?
Correction:
[Person's Name] is going to the mall and he is really not looking forward to it.
[Person's Name] is excited for Christmas OMGZ. !!
[Person's Name] wants to go to the movies.
You have to follow through. If you start out one way, that is the way you must finish. If you write a book in the third person, you don't change to the first person midway through a chapter! Unless you say, "[Character]'s thoughts went a little something like this: [Character's thoughts]", or something of the sort. Apply this rule to your facebook statuses, please! Sure, your statuses aren't as important as material in a book, but they do at least mean something - or else you wouldn't be writing them.
