In the world of hi-tech gadgetry, I've noticed that more and more people who send text messages and emails have long forgotten the art of capital letters.

For those of you who fall into this category, please take note of the following statement:

"Capitalisation is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse."

Is everybody clear on that?

Definitely, Matt... ;D... ;D...!

I am occasionally reprimanded, (by a certain Member.. ;)..) for my (excess) use of Capital Letters in my posts, but many times I use them to emphasise important words, and their position within the text, to avoid confusion*...

Paul...with a big bag of apostrophes, and capital letters... ;D...!

* ....according to Cunfusius, and me... ;)...!

I take it you're referring to me? :-*

I find the excessive use of capitals is just as confusing as none at all.  :P

Crystal clear  ;)
If Uncle Jack asks you to help him off a horse think twice before saying yes.  ;D

Over-usage of contractions is slowly starting to irk me as well.
