I'm tempted to name this thread after our most serious offender.
Repent, or else...

Judah Kanowitz might not be the only one with a dedicated thread.

Actually, Indians tend to punctuate properly.

I opine that that the difference between texting and posting in an online forum is vast. One is a private message generally read once, by one person, whereas the other is a permanent and public representation of your statement.

Anything that is being prepared for public consumption should be given care.

It's fine. Typos happen.

This thread is not condemning typos. It's condemning egregious lack of punctuation, grammar, and capitalization.

I guess now I don't have to worry about my posts showing up here. I think I passed the litmus test.

I can't say that these things get me too nervous. But when it's a mistake in the thread title, then I really feel like it's an insult to my intelligence.

And, CV, do you think I need a pattern posting here? :P

like i said,

im agreeable to the following: if 10 people with at least 1500 posts request that i capitalize, i will try to make the effort to do so.
due to the lack of requests, it would appear you are the only one bothered by my posts

to be consistent, i think you should quote all of my posts that contain an "egregious lack of ... capitalization"

Now that AJK started this thread I have started to pay more attention to posts. I can't believe how so many will not use capitalization.
