New Posts For Thread: why don't we all write in lower case?https://community.betfair.com/chit_chat/go/thread/view/94038/30250801/why-dont-we-all-write-in-lower-casesaves an awful lot of time farting around with cap locks and realising at times you've typed a whole sentence in capitals and have to start again. time is precious. it is at my age anyway.There was some guy on the TV recently from some organisation trying to get English redone so the spelling is more consistant with how it's pronounced. If you were starting again I'm sure you'd do it differently, but it's never going to happen, is it?https://community.betfair.com/chit_chat/go/thread/view/94038/30250801/why-dont-we-all-write-in-lower-case?post_id=543188425#543188425There was some guy on the TV recently from some organisation trying to get English redone so the spelling is more consistant with how it's pronounced.

Not that he doesn't deserve it. Hope you are ok after being savaged (i wanted to say after your savaging but it didn't sound right).https://community.betfair.com/chit_chat/go/thread/view/94038/30250801/why-dont-we-all-write-in-lower-case?post_id=539074271#539074271I was careful to say "As far as I know naydem hasn't been knighted".

On second thoughts must be double as the single quotes would be confusing 'I'm up it'.https://community.betfair.com/chit_chat/go/thread/view/94038/30250801/why-dont-we-all-write-in-lower-case?post_id=539074085#539074085I think you mean "I'm up it".

In life, I have found that those attention-seekers who feel the need to shout at me all the time, generally have nothing worthwhile to say.

For example, I would always say Sir Henry Cecil and not sir Henry Cecil out of a mark of respect I suppose. Sir always warranted a capital S, for me.https://community.betfair.com/chit_chat/go/thread/view/94038/30250801/why-dont-we-all-write-in-lower-case?post_id=539073751#539073751Yeah it's a fair point Charlie but it just seems to be the way.
