You're not kidding, CatLady. Along with "mute" points is the attempted usage of the quaint expression,

"Methinks"

as

"Me thinks."

Which, I might add, is quite hilarious given that the suspected intent of using such a phrase is to suggest a well-read poster.

Instead, the result - "Me thinks interest rates...(etc.)" - is grammar akin to that which an individual named/called "Mongo" or "Thump" would use.
