Lord Braykewynde Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I've noticed that more and more people who send text messages, emails and post in forums have long forgotten the art of capitalization. For those of you who fall into this category, please take note of the following statement. Capitalization is the difference between a) "helping your Uncle Jack off a horse" and b) "helping your uncle jack off a horse." Is everybody clear on that? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Mrs Batty Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Not really ? We havent got an Uncle Jack or a horse ? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tracker Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I am indebted to my honourable friend for that very descriptive description and I confirm that I do understand the difference. I am not so sure that the horse understands whether he is being riden or something completely different though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Symbol Owner Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 If I were a horse, I'm not sure that I would understand being 'riden' Richard, but I might if I were ridden :D That is a"Wrong way" -- not just "Different" (!)

Symbol Owner Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 What is a 'spote' Richard? or was that deliberate too? ( note to self "I mustn't keep doing this, what if the poor chap really is dyslexic?) No offence meant Mr.Tracker -- honest! Cheers, C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tracker Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 No problem Colin - no ofence ever taken at gud natured banter! As part of our eforts to economise we are urged to cut back to only using a single leter in place of two. It may not sound much to you but every leter counts and just think how much ink and paper could be saved if everyone folowed suit!
