Sorry, Kenny, but "This really grates" is a complete sentence. It has a subject ("This"), a verb ("grates"), and an adverb ("really"). That's one more part of speech than is needed to form a complete sentence; all that's required is a subject and a verb. For example; the shortest sentence in the Christian Bible to my knowledge—certainly the shortest verse—is "Jesus wept."

No Karma for that one, bud!

Nope, you need a direct object if 'grates" is a verb. .... of course I'm no Ronald Regan, nor do I play one on the internet...

I suppose in isolation if "this" does not refer to the previous sentence they yeah it could be construed to be a complete sentence, say if I were holding a cheese grader and said it.

Well we could always cut the cheese instead of grating it.

That could work.
