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.

Do you know Bridget, I hope that "alas" wasn't really meant - I think the nobdies have a whale of a time and are exceedingly welcoming and speedy. I think it's an honour to be a nobdie iyswim?

No! Only the first part can be capitalized, otherwise the pedant in me would demand a space between Proper names, see? Grin

joolyjoo is merely an adjunct to the Jooly, and therefore not a proper name by itself, I say. Such has it always been, and so will it remain!

0v0 or is it OvO is genius and should be a frequenter of the GnT bits. she can have a sash but must fight SarahStrattons Mortimer for the honor of Top Bird.

loulou77 · 14/06/2011 22:50

what would be the point of capitalising my name and taking off the numerals? As they say, you can't polish a turd.

Name to change to UnOriginal?

Or does it now have to be boob related?

I saw HoneyDragon acting suspiciously earlier on pumpernickel

AuntieMonica · 14/06/2011 22:52

but MN doens't recognise spaces between names, hence the capitalisation.

All showing off with yer capitals...

NorksAreMessy · 14/06/2011 22:56

But I do have crepey norks :(

And they swing low, and they wobble to and fro
And I can tie them in a knot, and I can tie them in a bow
And I can throw them over my shoulder like a continental soldier
Yes my Norks swing low

Tee2072 · 14/06/2011 22:58

You lot leave my 2072 alone!!!

I've been Tee2072 on the web longer than MN's been around and I ain't changing it no way, no how.

And wouldn't y'all like to know what it means...

Igetknockeddownbutgetupagain · 14/06/2011 22:58

Igetknockeddownbutgetupagain - it articulates;

The refusal to be dragged down by disappointments and face the world with a smile!

The rage against the machine!

The triumph over adversity!

And its a song by Chumbawumba thats I just, like, totally love, yougetzme??
