so i have currently bkk-cdg TG F, cdg-fra LH J and finally fra-jfk LH J

is there anything coming from ua that might indicate if i will/wont be able to get LH F when it opens up 2 weeks prior? when i spoke to an agent before the deval she was certain i would be able to get it since i already gave the miles for f

See, this one stumps me.

I was going to say that the shift button is still inoperable on ~~some of~~ all the devices he uses, but then he goes and pulls a fast one and capitalizes TG and LH (3x!).

Sneaky lil bugger.

We welcome back all of our students to school, and hope you had an enjoyable break! As we have mentioned in the past, as part of our scheduled, preventative health measures, we checked all students for lice after the winter break, and will plan do so again after the Pesach break. We want to thank Nit Works who sent a team today to check all the students in xxxxxx xxxxxx. We want to assure everyone that if there were any positive cases, notification were done discreetly, to ensure that children were not embarrassed. If your child was not present at school today, we ask that you make alternative arrangements to have them checked. For the safety of all students, all children were required to have their hair checked.

If they do I am assuming she didn't write that letter.

Either that, or she learned English at that school, way back.

im pretty sure i cleared this up for you before.

in case you didnt pay attention, ill oblige you again.

when capitalizing doesnt help with the comprehension of my post, (imo), i wont do it.

however in the post you quoted, i felt that capitalizing the words i did would help it be more readable.

ditto with commas etc.

basically i dont capitalize etc for mere aesthetics (or to follow grammar rules obviously)

i think you should be busy with those who dont spell correctly or use the wrong words such as their, there, and they're

You do have a point. At least your posts are generally readable.

But the entire purpose of grammar, capitalization, etc is to make one's writing lack ambiguity, be easier to read, and convey what the writer intends.

Just one example:

But, by all means, do not allow me to get in the way your laziness
