Will you capitalise your friffing names.

It is good and proper and correct and right and eyepleasing.

I know I've nagged prebiously, but there's been an influx of newbies and I think it bears trepeating.

Seriously, it matters.

No - Genus is capital but second part (species) is lower case. That's how it's always been done in taxonomy................. zzzzzzzzzz Grin

AgentZigzag · 14/06/2011 22:31

Appealing to your better nature Chaos, perhaps old gimmers like ginhag (whose name I love) could be excluded from your contempt?

Just direct it at them newbies, you really don't know where they've been, they could have trod in netmums or anythink

ChaosTrulyReigns · 14/06/2011 22:31

ginh, I may be persuaded - if it adds to your addled persona that capitals would be a bridge too far, I will stoicly accept the lowercaseness of it.

And I'm not a Gin Hag, I'm ginhag. Which makes sense to me.

Gold star please...or you can just put a pebble in my jar.
Thanks

Good Norks

sharbie · 14/06/2011 22:32

nope

AtYourCervix · 14/06/2011 22:32

but only if there is a space. does the lack of space nullify the need fora proper lowercase second species thingy?

babylann · 14/06/2011 22:32

You just tell me how, OP, and I will do it for you :)

Happy now?
I'm not a newbie but recently namechanged because I had numbers after my 'prebious' name Grin

The name I wanted was already in use so I added my year of birth to it. And in 3 years I've never seen the other bugger post!

catinthehat2 · 14/06/2011 22:34

is there anything about your OP you would like to reconsider?

you have time

not unlimited time of course

Salmotrutta · 14/06/2011 22:34

AtYourCervix - you are correct really it should be Salmo trutta with a space and done in italics!! Oh God - I've bored myself now Grin

AtYourCervix · 14/06/2011 22:35

don't be facetious Puffin. it's not big and certainly not clever.

pumpernickel10 · 14/06/2011 22:35

I'm a newbie of 3 weeks but was on here lastyear.
So I'm a semi newbie

AgentZigzag · 14/06/2011 22:35
