Why Does It Bother You So Much? |

...and by the way i don't know why track titles (or headlines in some newspapers) often have every word capitalized except "the", "or", "by", etc. capitals are quite useless, i could write all in lowercase letters... there are only a few exceptions to this, "history" vs. "History" for example (and still it's not that important - most of the time you can guess what history it is). or in "the maggot" by the melvins, the first song is called "amazon" and the second one "AMAZON" - that's one of the only cases where capitals really have a purpose. (another thing that annoys me is when people don't put the accents on capital letters - even though you don't have this problem in english) |
||||||||

They usually capitalise the nouns and verbs, which is why words such as 'the' and 'and' or 'or' aren't capitalised. |

what really pisses Me off is the use of Random Caps. I mean theres No fucking need for it! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Because it is absolutely pointless and unnecessary. I hardly see a difference between this, and typing in all caps to attract attention. It's only annoying, imo. And i just have this feeling that a lot of people (mostly americans, yeah that's right) genuinely don't know when to use caps, so they just use them whenever, just like they use 'there/their' in many different ways in even one paragraph. 'theirs just One thing that Pisses me off ya know its like when you say something to people and there all like wtf?' UGH. |

i think all capital letters are NONSENS |

Maybe You Take Life Too Seriously And teh Rest Of Us Dont Think Twice About What We Post Because We Couldnt Give A Rats-swollen-anus!!! :p |

it's called title case and has every place in being used in the title of a topic. it is an accepted format in publishing hence the use in newspaper headlines etc. check on Microsoft Word under change case it has title case included there. |

What I hate is when people drop the personal pronoun in thread titles for example in "Just bough Analord 10", or I hate ambiguous titles like "Just bought..." |

THAT CAT IS AWESOME! So are the mushrooms Amazing quality |

I'm only interested in why some people do this (perhaps subconsciously, perhaps because they're completely clueless) and why some don't. It doesn't matter a whole lot, no. I can read these thread titles as well as 'regular' ones. These things don't ruin my life nor will i be pissed off about them all day. It just strikes me as odd that people seem to be reinventing or modifying the english language online. I take language seriously because i feel it's important. Imagine books being written in this internet language... What a nightmare. Whenever something like this is said, there's always the usual replies such as 'who gives a shit' and all that, which is exactly what causes this 'new way of writing (typing) where nothing really matters as long as people still get the message'. Either way, this is an endless discussion, and only the beginning of it, though i wouldn't mind seeing more people talk about these things. I remember i_x_ten's thread about the 'their/there/they're thing' the other day, and i know it gets about 10 reads, and people will have fucked off to something more digestible and light hearted. I know there are others who appreciate good use of language, such as ceri jc, marlowe and qrter (just a few examples, there are lots) and i envy them for being able to jokingly deal with these issues instead of getting actually pissed off like me, which is of course pointless. Didn't marlowe say something along the lines of 'the english language cannot be saved anymore anyway' ? |

I think there is a place for caps.. and I think threads should have them where necessary. I know this isn't English class, but not using caps where appropriate is just lazy. i think there is a place for caps.. and i think threads should have them where necessary. i know this isn't english class, but not using caps where appropriate is just lazy.

I agree completely, though i must admit i'm a lazy bastard when it comes to this. i often neglect using caps at the beginning of sentences even though i'm well aware it's only a wee bit extra effort. i almost admire people who take the time to type 'I' in mid sentence. cheers godel and hanal :) |

browsing livejournals or other crap (political forums!) where the average american drops his/her verbal feces is awful/great. i laugh for the first 10 minutes, after that i want to euthanize them. |

yeah i shoulda just posted "semantics" and left it at that but instead i tried (poorly) to put an analogy together and failed. oh and the "neo conservative..." comment was a joke. another poor attmpt that failed miserably. i guess you didn't have your sarcasm meter on. at the end i tried to lighten up the mood a bit by purposely making up the word "grammalize" (since you so foolishly bothered to make up a stereotype about americans) and finishing it off with a quote from everyones fave video... gee, sorry i suck so much and everyone else is soo much better than me, gawd. chill out man. ain't life a bitch when when you can't control everyone around you. wah wah wah cry cry cry. don't worry it's gonna be ok, you'll live. everyone is entitled to their opinions. you expressed yours and i exppressed mine. pretty low of you to fuckin attack me for it cuz i happen to be an "AMERICAN". ass. now bugger up you have a lovely day... hope your card came. |

It's almost funny that you felt attacked by my comment. And pretty typically american to react so defensively. Maybe you've heard of the term 'generalization'? And yes i love stereotypes. It's a lot of fun seeing people get worked up over this. I guess you wanted a serious reply to your little rant. well i'm sorry i couldn't come up with something wittier than 'you're a cool american' by which i meant nothing other than 'fuck off and learn not to care when somebody says they dislike america as you should be used to it by now'. If i got pissed off about each and every american asking me if (or sometimes even WHY) i wear wooden shoes, i'd have had a heart attack by now. I didn't attack you, and i didnt even say anything about the fact that you came crashing into this thread like a raving madman and telling me to chill the fuck out about life, the universe and everything, when all i did was say i was slightly annoyed, and then continued to go on peacefully by spamming some pics. Oh and congratulations for being familiar with windowlicker and drukqs. |
