to flinch when people use random capitals in sentences??

[GreenSepticStumpsleeves]

as in "I told her we were going to buy a Guinea Pig, but all she did was scream and ask for a Rabbit"

Stop it, all of you!! Stop it now!!

YANBU !

IMHO

A bit irrational maybe but totally reasonable!!!!!

I think it's time you stopped being so Silly, tbh

ah

i assume aitch's patented Use of Capitals for Comedic Effect is exempt...?

Gah, don't even do it in jest NDP

capitals for comedic effect, eg "that would be a Very Bad Idea" are exempt.

it's idiots who put things like "ds2 has forgotten his Lunch Box again" who need a bullet.

It's for Emphasis, m'dear. YABU. I for one will not give it up. Oh No.

YaNbU

potatoe's

Oh, I sEe, I tHoUght you meaNt like tHis.

what's a vancancy?

Is it an empty ford transit?

yes I thought you meant like ThIs as WeLl - very odd See what you mean now. I think sometimes it's assumed that all nouns have a capital letter.

LOL UQD so did I. We get e-mails like this from security.

Of Course, They Do In German.

What annoys me is when people use "inverted commas" when they want to "emphasise" something. I was proofing a manuscript the other day in which the author had put every vaguely "metaphorical" expression in "inverted commas". Like this:

'I knew everyone would "pull together" and that we would all be "singing from the same hymn sheet" before too long.'

And I have to say, after 200 pages of this it was driving me "up the wall."

UD - tis better than when you are faced with someone, in person, who does the inverted comma thing with the first two fingers of each hand, in the air - you know what I mean - tis tres irritating.

Vancancy was MY typo sorry!!!

don't you mean "irritating"?
sorry

yEs, YAbU.

You ClearlY hAve "Too Much Time On Your Hands".

Go bUsY yOurSelF with sOmeThing WorthWhile InstEad of "criticising" everyone Else.
