sometimes when i make my post here on mylot i try the best i can to make sure that they are started in the uppercase but continue in the lower case but sometimes its funny that i find that i just go on writing the whole psot in the uppercase only to discover thois after i have finished typing,it can be funny that i just dont bother myself to correct this but just go ahead and post straight away,i have had a member here cpmplain about this but its usually not intentional,do you find yourself doing same or you never experience this,?how do you feel when you find yourself in this kind of situation.

i think being grammatically correct is something we should all strive to achieve and i quite agree with you about not bothering with changing to upper case

you are right but we must also know thta there are people here who still follow maxims that are impossible to break ,but all the same the cases of posting is not a big deal to me but the message being conveyed matters a lot

Hi byola,
I make sure that my writing is properly written in the correct case most of the time. I may miss out a cap letter for the beginning of a sentence but I definitely won't submit a post with all caps. It is part of internet etiquette not to post anything in all caps. It shows that you're angry or something. That is probably why you have other mylotter pinpointing that out. It is important netiquette, even though you may think it is unintentional and have no intention to offend anyone, but generally it is just not right for internet language to have all caps in your post.

No problems! I think there is a need for everyone to be aware of such things and make mylot a better place for everyone! We don't want to offend anyone, do we?

[i]Hi BYOLA,
I will also capitalize the word if the handle of my friend is capitalize but my response I have to make sure it is always a small font!
But, when I am responding to friends about post which are all in big font, I will just think that they want to emphasize it or like you, didn't recognize it at the earlier stage![/i]

I am actually talking about the making of posts in either the upper or lower cases when we make posts,i sometimes discover i have made my discussion in the upper case which has lead some members to correct me harshly but oif course it was not intentional

I have done this also, but didn't post it, as I thought I might get moaned at. Wimp that I am! 
It is frustrating though. It happens alot when I am engrossed in college work and find I have absent mindedly written the whole thing in CAPS. Glad to hear I am not the only one who does it though.

Yeah,i understand ,most times we tend to think we will get whipped for either doing or not ding some things but i think we really need to hve some courage if not there are things we will never get to do in life.
