Chris,
 I agree and disagree. It is always good to do thing proper but
who are we to expect things from the end users? No one here has a right
to enforce or even demand such a change. If you notice, I always have
proper syntax and punctuation as well but I do not demand it of others.
If it's hard to read, approach it on a case-by-case basis but most of
the time, it's very understandable, no matter what u say. ;) Laters,
Jeremy

Subject: OT: sloppy English

A lot of posts to this mailing list seem to use really lazy English: "I"
consistently in lowercase, missing punctuation, missing capital letters
at
the start of sentences, etc.

Two things:
1. A sentence which goes something like "must i do x or can i do y" is
hard
to read.
2. Writing like this makes you sound like a moron.

We're all educated people or otherwise we wouldn't be computer
programmers.
So let's maintain some reasonable standards.

Chris Williams.
