Yep. I recognize it for exactly what it is.

Oh, so you're cultivating the look of willful stupidity, not genetic. I understand now.

Good luck with all that.

Then don't bother posting. No one wants to wade through a four hundred word sentence. You could never get a job in the business world.

Thanks for coming.

Bye.

Your keyboard has two keys labeled "Shift". Using them gets you capital letters. You're not the only person around here that's been using computers for the last Geological Age. (Do you know what a PDP-11 is? Have you ever used one? Do you know what an acoustic coupler is? Can you give a one sentence explanation why it would be very difficult to use one today?) Some of us learned to use our shift keys 'way back in the dim and distant prehistoric era of UNIVAC. We haven't forgotten.

Just something to think about.

I see. That's funny. I ran my first bulletin board in 1983. I had a shift key on my computer then, and I used it regularly.

I don't really mind if you ignore proper English capitalization. I was just pointing out that people don't take articles as seriously if they're not properly spelled, punctuated, and capitalized. It's your choice.

[OneWingedShark]

Just as long as you remember that capitalization is the difference between:
"I helped my uncle Jack off a horse."
and
"i helped my uncle jack off a horse."

Fine, but it gives you an illiterate look.

Oh, arrogant one, you are going to pay for that little comment. If you have learned nothing around here, you should still have realized that there is a vast wealth of knowledge and experience resident in this forum that far surpasses your own pitiful existence.

A little respect will carry you far in these parts, Junior. You have to show it if you expect to also receive it.

We all know Al Gore gave birth to the internet.

Ps: Although I didnt like your title I think your point is good. If a person is old enough to give his life he should also be able to smoke or drink when appropriate.

Yes, it is recognized as the style used by semi-literates.

THIS IS A RECOGNIZED STYLE, TOO.

I recognize that style! It's called "illiterate."

[stands2reason]

I mumble when I make speeches. So what if it sounds like I don't care and nobody takes me seriously.

It is a recognized "style."

The first humans mumbled as well. That gave way to the elocution you now enjoy.

Yes, it quickly allows the reader to recognize you are lazy and do not understand effective communication.
