Use of capital letters


Recommended Posts

Capital Letters

Capital Letters? Who uses them anymore? ..... A teacher's explanation. Short and to the point.

In the world of hi-tech gadgetry, I've noticed that more and more people who send text messages and e-mails have long forgotten the art of capital letters. For those of 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, or helping your uncle jack off a horse."


Are we clear?

John Wayne was 'said' to have pointed his six-shooter at a bandit and spoken the lines.........

 

'Get off yer horse and stick yer hands up yer bum!!"

 

'Cut' shouts the director. "Read that again Marion, sorry John"

 

"Ahh.....OK" John/marion checks the script....

 

"Get off yer horse........ and stick yer hands up............yer bum!"

Just think that not everyone here is a native English speaker

and that things like "to rite wot i can rite like,but a message aynt it me old duck"

can be incomprehensible for them... or me. :(

 

And is that so hard to press a Shift key when you write "I" ?

Or to add a quote at "isnt" or "didnt" ?

Seriously ?

We have an excellent sense of humor. You just aren't funny. And the audience decides what's funny, not the comedian.

only if there arent many yanks judging

If you are genuinely trying to make people laugh, and they don't laugh, then you aren't funny. Like I said, the audience decides, not the comedian. If you are just trying to take the piss then that's a different matter.

Fuck a duck!

People from around Stoke, UK are always calling others 'duck'.

Trouble is when you get used to it and don't, then you grouse!
