The Importance of Capitalization

From an e-mail I received - Those of us who fall into the world of hi-tech should take note of the importance of correct grammar, punctuation and capitalization. I have noticed that many who send text messages & email, have forgotten the "art" of capitalization. Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse.

  1. Truer words haven't been spoken. Laziness has definitely added to the misconception of the English language and its use. If it wasn't so PG-13, it would be a great way to get a point across to high schoolers about their spelling, grammar and obvious punctuation.

  2. Ha, so true! I don't mind the occasional lack of capitalization, but when it's consistent in someone's writing that's just plain laziness...or stupidity. Maybe a little of both!

  3. I hate when people don't capitalize correctly. I mean via text message or whatever is one thing I hate when people email or send me full messages and can't capitalize correctly. Didn't we all learn "I" is ALWAYS in CAPS?
