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!!

The Use of random capitals Drives me to Distraction.

I also really hate people who use "as such" all the time. What do they mean? We have someone at work who writes things like:

"the budgets have not been finalised, as such"

LOL Tutter, my FIL also uses a ruler to write with. I am

However I am also guilty of Random Capitalisation, sometimes it can be a Good Thing to emphasise what you are trying to say

Perpetrators should be randomly sentenced to ... wait for it... capital punishment.

Sorry.

i LOVe RanDOM capitalisation - no PARTICULAR reason i JUST do

LOL CAPITAl punishment - i do love a good pun

You are not. I just posted on similar lines here

I agree that anything that helps convey the tone of the message is a good thing. But who can really be arsed bothered to preview their messages? In RL I talk quite quickly. The hubbie of one of my friends is very deliberate and slow in the way he speaks. He does not say much but what he does say is always very well thought out and clever. If he were a mn-er he would preview his messages as he is boring as hell made that way. His spelling and grammar would always be perfect.

LOL @ 'Craggy Island for punctuation freaks'.

Isn't it though Aviatrix?

LOL avi

I have seen you all over tonight being acerbic and funny

Ok. I wasn't going to post here (for fear of my knowingly quite poor grammar ) until I spent the last twenty minutes or so on a thread with a poster who keeps writing everything in inverted commas.
It is extremely bloody annoying, especially when MN gives you the options to use bold and italic and even underlining for emphasis.

LoRayningNewtsAndFrogs - hello we have both been slogging it out on other thread disputing OP - fruitless op will deliberately digress or belittle (new)MN'etters to avoid original OP and fact that it is absolte pants

yes all over

all over the place

I suppose I should be more careful how I phrase things on This thread

ah

well

I saw you both times then and it was so funny and acerbic that it seemed like more times

FrannyandZ - Are you having a lesbian crush on Aviatrix?

Caroline.........????

no she is my friend

I am like this to my friends, because I think they are fab

it has been called "arse licking" before but "lesbian crush" is a new one

Avi would you like it if I had a lesbian crush on you?
