I know what "the 1900s" means. That's the joke? :rolleyes: I was looking at the lack of punctuation... the lack of capitalization... Am I proving the applicability of this need for patience? :ROFLMAO:

If lack of punctuation and capitalization bothers you (as it should) then don’t text anyone under 30. Honestly from what I’m seeing these days don’t text anyone at all.

Sadly, this disdain for capitalization and punctuation has spilled over into all written conversations and is becoming “acceptable” in more and more places.

I don't doubt it. I tried to instill in my kids that they can write and talk anyway they want, but when they write and talk with my wife and I they will do it properly. That paid off because now they can switch back and forth between being stupid with their friends and actually writing business emails that look like they have a brain.

I see posts here on LTG completely devoid of capitalization all the time. Usually from new users.

Sadly, I got heat 25 years ago for writing making subdirectories in Linux that had capitalization because the sysadmin "hated having to use the shift key". He actually wrote me an email - with proper capitalization - complaining about how he hated capitalization in directory names.

Meanwhile, many programming standards use capitalization in weird ways. For example, dateTimeSeconds, DateTimeSeconds, and datetimeseconds or more likely datetimeseconds() are all quickly identified as different things by programmers because of naming conventions.
