Just a reminder, to please watch your spelling, capitalization, and grammar on the boards. Meaning, please make an effort at making your posts readable by your fellow members.

There's been a rash of posting in all lowercase letters, especially in thread titles, which is hard to read. Doesn't take much effort to use the Shift key, but it makes all the difference when people are trying to decipher posts.

Also, remember to try not to use kewl talk and intentionally misspelled words.

We're not asking you guys to be perfect - everyone makes mistakes while typing - but just take that extra second to pay attention to how your post looks.

Also, remember that posting in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS reads to most people at shouting, and italics reads to many as thoughts, so please keep that in mind.

Thanks!
 
Will do 🙂 I somtimes have a habit of forgetting to capitalize "I" when typing... *blush* sorry, I'll work on fixing it! 😀

AWESOME siggy!!!
Fortunately, I try most of the time. Most of the time I check my post before sending it, but I do forget sometimes.

Wow! I never knew that. Oh man.. I would wear out the I key if I put everything in italics for my thoughts. Then I put things in italics and I really HOPE that some people don`t think that is what I was thinking.
 
That stuff mainly comes into play when people post their entire post in either italics or caps. So it's clearly not emphasis - it just reads weird to people who are used to that.
