to want to email Aquila and tell them......

[BertrandRussell]

.....that capital Is do not have dots over them?

As a public service, did you know the dot is actually a "tittle"?

And did you know that I always put a dot over the "i" when I write in capitals unless it's at the start of a word, just because it looks pretty?

Thank you for the PSA though.

But it's wrong! How can it look pretty if iit's wrong???

WHY iS iT WRONG THOUGH? PRETTY LiTTLE DOTS iN SENTENCES iS A LOVELY SiGHT TO SEE!

'And did you know that I always put a dot over the "i" when I write in capitals unless it's at the start of a word, just because it looks pretty?'

This makes me twitch.

Post a photo of it milk and lets have a vote.

At least it was a dot not a heart

Yes, ItsAll, but teenage girls have to do that

my friends and I all did this when we were teenagers

Urhhghg. Stop!

How do you read that though? Its all shouty and not shouty. You sound unhinged.

A PHOTO OF MY HANDWRiTING iS NEVER GOiNG TO HAPPEN - TOO iDENTiFYABLE!

Yes, ItsAll, but teenage girls have to do that

UNHiNGED iS FAiRLY ACCURATE TBH.

Oh. Good luck with that then.

not a clue what you are talking about - and Google takes me to a tv show from the 1990s - so if you are talking about that then you are a good few years too late to BU and therefore YABU!

if not..... then what are you talking about?

I bet you do bubble writing too, Milk.

Unicorn-look up and slightly to the right. Advertisement for a comic for posh kids children's magazine..

www.aquila.co.uk/?gclid=CPaR39admskCFSgFwwodqTsG7Q this perhaps?

it is a great magazine, my DD has had a subscription for a couple of years now & loves it. Perfect christmas present from the grandparents

Thanks Bertrand, I've never been called posh before ;)

I got Aquila for my kids for a bit - they never really enjoyed it. Too worthy and aspirational-educational. The old strapline 'The magazine for children who enjoy challenges' used to make me cringe a little. They get First News now, which they enjoy, and (bilingual) the children's spin-off of a German news magazine, which manages to get the educational-engaging balance just right.

Agreed, my DCs also get it, also paid by grandparent

We're not posh. It's just a really good, informative kids' mag.

I'm 25 and still dot my I's with a circle instead of a dot.

I thought you were talking about the 1990s kid's TV show about a spaceship found in ancient ruins.

I loved that show

that tv show also does the capital I with a dot.....

maybe its a Roman thing (Aquila is the 2 headed eagle)

Only the really smart kids will understand why they have put the dot there.

Bumping this for the evening crowd. Not sure why their ad on MN got such a sarky response?!

My DD (9) has Aspergers & Aquila is the only thing she has really got into apart from Harry Potter. It is not biased towards girls, it is equally suitable for boys. My DD loves the non-fiction aspect.

Most 9 yr old girls magazines have billions of pics of fluffy bunnies & old pics of 1D but not much else....

I have no connection to Aquila, but wanted to suggest it to parents of ASD children who are looking for non-fiction options of things to read.
