my "inability" to capitalize the first letters more or less comes from my refusal to do so.

this is a blog setting, not a paper for work or school.

the rules are understood, yet there is little need for them to be used to communicate properly (when a 4 year old has "founded something" they demonstrate that rules can be over applied and still make sense tot he careful listener)

moreso: as dmenotsaretd by an eiaml ocne bfeor, eevn wrod srtcutre isn't ralely nedeed to cmomnuitcae fluly.

The problem with your stance is that on this forum (especially in the science threads), you are judged/evaluated by not only what you write but also how you write it (i.e. present yourself).

People, not just those who reply to you, do judge you by your ablity to write English. Every post of yours is not just looked at here, but by those at DU and Echelon (and probably by the GRU for that matter.) Romance may be fleeting but the Internet lasts longer that herpes.
