 Topic: no capitals. bothering anyone?
Posted: 23 January 2010 at 8:52am |
i was lying in bed last thinking (as i do) and i realised that pretty much everyone on here types very properly with capitals and everything whereas i usually just can't be bothered making the extra effort to hit the shift button.
so what i was wondering is......is it bothering anyone? would people like me to start using capitals? i can you know, i'm a clever girl

Sorry, but I do find bad grammar annoying. Just one of my pet peeves. Although, no initial capitals is not as annoying as really bad spelling.

I am sure there will be people that will get upset but dont let it bother you too much. Half of the time I type with one hand and busy with a child or feeding Andrew so bit difficult to type capital letters ect.

no capitals doesnt really bother me. Bad spelling does, but typos dont. At least you use full stops and commas.....that would REALLY piss me off because it makes it hard to understand.

It doesn't bother me online at all, it bothers me in person or in print though.
The only reason I use capitals etc is because I type quite quickly and I'm used to pushing the shift button as a force of habit. It would take a long time for me to re-learn no punctuation!
Bad spelling annoys me so much as does no punctuation, but I'm not about the get pippy over it on here - I'll have enough kids to teach proper grammar too at school that I can take it out on them

No caps doesn't bother me, because most of us are probably typing while holding baby, bad spelling I can handle, some people just can't spell.

I often don't hit shift if I have a baby in my arms so on this board I'd totally expect it.

I don't mind as long as there is some puncutation or spacing - it's bloody hard to comprehend if those natural breaks aren't there.

I have to agree on that one .
ALL CAPS BOTHERS ME as that's shouting in internet land and really don't think its necessary, I like to use proper spelling 20 years of being a typist its hard to change the habit, I do try to restrain myself from correcting people though.

Yeah, it doesnt bother me... I normally use caps so you can tell if I am holding baby as its all lowercase and sometimes with out punctuation... I also use 3 full stops ALL the time, which I imagine is annoying, but that is how I talk with long dramatic pauses LOL.

I use CAPS to emphasize things, because I don't know how to italicize on here  Hope people don't think I'm shouting at them!
I'm another one that always uses the 3 full stops all the time, Melnel... what is that even called?
As for writing without capitals, I figure people are probably holding babies, on this forum. Besides, it's summer... laziness is respectable in summer

Doesn't bother me!! I only write in "a proper way" or whatever because got used to doing it for assignments. Like capitals, punctuation and spelling...
I usually notice a lot of spelling mistakes, but like everyone else figure they're doing something else (holding a baby, eating, whatever!) and I can usually work out what they're saying anyway.
Typing all in capitals lol reminds me off a facebook group "When I see WRITING LIKE THIS the voice in my head speaks louder" or whatever it was called...
