I notice that you are typing i instead of I. Is that because you are using an Ipad?

Before I get into nooks and kindles and Ipads, I need someone to guide me through. Actually, we have a restaurant in the movie theatre where we often go. They LOAN Ipads to their patrons to play games. I’ve tried it with Angry Birds and I just can’t get into it. I just don’t feel right about sitting there playing a game while my 3 companions are talking. It feels rude. LOL (Even though all the kids are doing it.)

no, it’s because i eschew capitalization when i am posting on FR or otherwise chatting. i happen to be on a desktop now, but there is def a tendency to use shorthand when typing on an ipad. my family all has smartphones and when we are out to dinner, everyone will check their phone etc. but we are nonetheless companionable, and will converse. It’s the same with watching tv at home, everyone is either on a laptop, ipad or smartphone, and facebooking [my kids], twittering [my husband] etc while watching tv together.
