In the world of hi-tech gadgetry, I've noticed that more and more people who send text messages and emails have long forgotten the art of capital letters.
For those of you who fall into this category, please take note of the following statement:
"Capitalisation is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse."
Is everybody clear on that?

I take it you're referring to me?
I find the excessive use of capitals is just as confusing as none at all.

WHAT A COINCIDENCE. TODAY IS
INTERNATIONAL CAPS LOCK DAY
!
Also, apparently, poorly designed website day.
A bad day at golf is better than a good day at work.

Crystal clear
If Uncle Jack asks you to help him off a horse think twice before saying yes.
Over-usage of contractions is slowly starting to irk me as well.
