Some of these may not cause you any problems but they might, so why take the chance?
I have received emails with some of these words even in the 'Subject line.'

LOL, yes, I know the list on the right is not lined up. No, I had not been drinking when I typed it. For some reason I never could get it lined up in Blogger. Oh! well, you can still read it. Just don't get dizzy. Hey, the first time I tried to do this post which was two weeks ago, Blogger wouldn't let me.

Jan. 18, Good grief, I had a hard time reading whatever Blogger did to this post so I redid it. Can read it now even if it is a long page.
