    Default Grammar and Capitalization

    From an email that my wife forwarded....

    CAPITALIZATION

    Those of us who fall into the world of hi-tech should take note of the importance of correct grammar.

    I have noticed that many, who text message & email, have forgotten the "art" of capitalization.
    Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse.

    Not that I know this first hand, but I was told that my uncle didn't need help.

    He loved horses. Got off and on all by his self.

    The Internet makes us lazy. Google makes us stupid. I don't remember anything anymore. My phone is smarter than me.

    Kinda felt sorry for the horse...........



    I will agree though and my 19 yo is a prime example. He can't compose a paper to save his keester. Spelling, composition, punctuation and grammer are a foreign concept unless he is composing it on the computer and can hit "spellcheck".
    We shant discuss his handwriting skills but man can he text

    grammar is like politics.

    we must strive for middle of the road fairness, but avoid the extremes.

    I noticed that grammar and usage has become a lost art in an English class. We had to grade each others short essays. Holy Jesus, I feel bad for anyone who teaches.
