To silently judge all those with non capitalised usernames

Consider these two usernames:

  • QuacksLikeADuck
  • quackslikeaduck

IMHO the first one is clearer, easier to read and just looks better!

AIBU to judge a username by its capitalisation and to secretly attribute the following characteristics to the owner of said username...

People with capitalised usernames are:

  • More organised
  • More punctal
  • Neater

People with uncapitalised usernames are:

  • Scatter brained
  • Always late
  • Messy

And even if your username is only one word it should still start with a capital letter!

OK I know IABVVU, and I am probably offending a good 50% of you right now! That's the point of AIBU innit?

But... am I right? Grin

I think you just described me perfectly. Grin

MaidOfStars · 20/11/2014 10:04

Scatterbrained, always late and messy here!

bluetrain · 20/11/2014 10:05

I used to have a capitalised user name but I was scatter brained, late and messy then too!

BeyondTheLimits · 20/11/2014 10:05

Yanbu, but I am a scatter brained late person, so you're wrong there. I just happen to be anal about particular things Grin

BeyondTheLimits · 20/11/2014 10:06

TheListingAttic · 20/11/2014 10:10

Organised - check!

Neat - ch-aww crap!

DrElizabethPlimpton · 20/11/2014 10:12

I'm ok then! Grin

Cyclopsbee · 20/11/2014 10:14

Im going to put a capital B in mine. I agree it will look better

YANBU

ghostyslovesheep · 20/11/2014 10:14

Oh and I HAVE to be organised, punctual and neat for work - I come here to fucking relax Grin

DoJo · 20/11/2014 10:15

I can't decide - does starting a thread about it constitute 'silently' judging? Are we talking literal silence whereby even the tapping of your keys would make a liar of you, or figurative silence whereby you just avoid pointing out uncapitalised names on every thread on every board on the whole site (and others?).

Sheitgeist · 20/11/2014 10:15

Scatterbrained, late, messy chaotic person here... but I do love them capitals.

Hassled so are you saying your name is really Has Sled? If not my theory is proven once again! Grin

I'm starting to think I need to take my capitals out as I'm exactly how the non capitals are described

LineRunner · 20/11/2014 10:17

I am a fucking shambles.

fluffyraggies · 20/11/2014 10:18

Oh dear.

fluffyraggies · 20/11/2014 10:19

I am scatterbrained, and sometimes late, but very neat Grin

ClawHandsIfYouBelieveInFreaks · 20/11/2014 10:19

Yanbu! Grin I just don't understand it!

BonjourMinou · 20/11/2014 10:19

I am punctual and messy. Where does that leave your theory?

CyclopsBee · 20/11/2014 10:19

Happy now OP?

I suddenly feel more organised

ClawHandsIfYouBelieveInFreaks · 20/11/2014 10:20

FluffyRaggies Sometimes when I'm responding to a poster, I will capitalise their name for them....

Hassled · 20/11/2014 10:21

One Christmas I changed my mind to Hassledge, which I thought was genius (I didn't come up with it) - no-one got it. No one. People were baffled. - apart from the genius poster who came up with it.
