Yes, I know I'm a snob. But there is absolutely NO reason to post a story anywhere without capitalising it. It looks sloppy and it is difficult to read. It's hard enough reading journal entries or community/BBS board/message group posts that have no capitalisation. You're too lazy to do it in more "personal" things, that's great. You think it makes you different or unique -- yes, dear, just like everybody else. But for the love of the English language... please, throw a capital letter at the beginning of a name and the beginning of a sentence. Please.

*snugs you*

Yes. There is no excuse for bad grammar.

BWAH HAH *snugs back* Thanks ;) And there's never any excuse, unless it's a typo. Or written quickly. Which, frankly, just shouldn't happen that much in posted works. Nuh-uh.

You know, I'm one of those lazy people who never capitalizes. But I've been shamed one too many times and had been thinking of mending my ways. This is the straw that broke the camel's back, for lo. I have capitalized.

*grins* Thanks.

I'm not sure if I made this clear enough, but I don't have a problem when people post personal stuff or comments back and forth or whatever and don't capitalise. Longer posts to message groups, longer journal or community entries -- now, those, I might stop reading because I honestly and truly have a very difficult time reading stuff when at least the first word of a sentence isn't capitalised.

Though, hey, I'm not going to complain if I can convince anybody that they should be capitalising their stories. It's just good form, yah? ;)

That's one of my biggest pet peeves. *shudder*

A big ditto all around. May I link to this post in a future entry? (I'm too lazy to post another one now.)

Whoops... sorry I forgot to respond to you.

That's one of my biggest pet peeves. *shudder*

Me too. (This, and people who don't put pairings/summaries on their stories posts for multifandom lists.) I don't care if people don't want to press the shift key. I like my shift key (unless I'm in a truly craptastic mood whilst IM'ing with someone). Other people don't, I respect that. But I just cannot fathom the people who say it makes them "unique" or an "individual", because, frankly, it doesn't *g*

Oh, you can certainly feel free, though it might be well past its expiry date by now ;)
