In the world of hi-tech gadgetry, instant messages, texting, et cetera, I've noticed that more young people are sending messages while completely ignoring capitalization.

IF you who fall into this category, please take note of the following statement: "Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse."

Is everybody clear on that now?

 I am sure there are some farm applications where the second sentence in Usagi's post would be correct


...and get off my lawn! (shakes fist at clouds)
pronounced "Pie-see-in"

Knowing how to use the "Search" feature is the difference between finding an old thread or scratching your head try to find it  :smt003

I hear you Pete!  It's not specific just to capitalization, it seems like all grammar rules have been thrown out the window, including punctuation.  As a teacher, it's maddening but I've learned to accept it because I know that I'm not perfect either.

Yeah, the Funny Stuff thread is no longer a sticky and thus hard to find when nobody has posted to it for awhile.

Oh, come on now, don't let it bother you too much, the way I see it, in about 20 years all written communications will be: 0010100101001010111101001101010101111101000100101110010?--111010100101001010101...

It will make the keyboard layout a lot simpler.  :smt002

Dilbeck--you may want to avoid using Usagi's quote as a grammar lesson in school.
