That's a very good term for it! I always thought it was just lack of punctuation education. It is indeed harder to read, and there are times when lack of punctuation has rendered more than one possibility to the meaning of a sentence. But oh well.

I don't mind the use of incorrect words ("Violators will be towed and find $50") and a dangling modifier here and there. But anyone can read back over what they've just written and throw a few periods and commas in. Otherwise, "Eats, Shoots and Leaves."
