Why do a certain group of people not capitalize the I, when referring to themselves, while posting. Is it out of humility, laziness or lack of literate skills.
all three in my case
totally out of my humility!! My yetzer hara tells me it’s incorrect spelling but i won’t give in…
LOL
why do some people not use question marks at the end of questions?
laziness
laziness (no offense, Mod-80). add onto that: poor, if not omitted, punctuation, spelling errors, incorrect grammar, & the failure to re-read their posts to check for errors & subsequent editing. selicha, but it’s my pet peeve. … no hard feelings, y’all! 🙂
[altho I’ll allow for the fact if someone’s writing quickly & perhaps passionately, they might not want to waste time to capitalize.]
and, please– no comments that I don’t capitalize the first word of my sentences ;D
Mod80

what do you think it is
????

i was referring to the original post
I’ts time for Haifagirl to weigh in
personally, only in rare cases do I correct others’ posts. ‘Haifagirl’ & our beloved ‘eclipse’ are always well-received. but I don’t wanna be a nudnik
:-O
btw, BaalHabooze~ it’s ‘ppl’ or ‘peeps’ ;-P
Capital “I”
We all live in a capital I
In the middle of the desert
In the center of the sky.
All day long we polish up the I
To make it clean and shiny
So it brightens up the sky.
Rubbing it here
And scrubbing it there.
Polishing the I
So high in the air.
And as we work we sing a lively tune
“It is great to be so happy on a busy afternoon.”
And when we’re through with the day’s only chore,
We go into the I
And we close the door.
Capital I, capital I,
Capital I, capital I.

the reason i dont cuz it takes extra effort which i dont think its necessary because this is a chat room a need a term paper or a letter or something official sorry guys but ur not imp enough for me to use to capitilize certain letters
i use a lower case i in some places as an attempt to fulfill the chazal meod meod hevie shfal rucach.
it’s hard to type capitals with one hand and boruch Hashem, when i’m in the cr, i usually have a baby in my arm. 🙂
rhetorical questions still warrant question marks.
zeeskite – great idea. 🙂
laziness
i just write as if im txtng. i never have punctuation or the like. posting rite now with my phone. driving 160 km/h and writing with other hand. Cr is 2 addictive 2 stop!
