I have decided that I will not respond to posts in which the author has decided to ignore the rules of letter capitalization.
There is no excuse for not taking the effort for using the shift key, not in my book.
People from other parts of the world, may use this forum, and not be able to understand this jargon.
While on my rant soapbox, I will express my dislike for the butchering of words and "cell phone/text chat" abbreviations. I most likely will defer helping that poster to someone else.

ex: jus cuz u dun lik it, tuff
translated & reconstructed: Just because you don't like it, tough !

Perhaps user "ADMIN" will add to the new user rules.

We are in agreement. If you post on the free PE forum Thunder's Place, you must adhere to the posting rules that say you must use complete sentences, no texting abbreviations and they even have a spell checker. If you don't abide by their rules, the moderators (of which there are many) will let you no in no uncertain terms. There have been a few "texters" on this forum in the past 3 years I've been here and they have been politely told to use the King's English to include capitalization, punctuation and proper spelling. It is only a courtesy to all of us so we can better understand what you are saying. Clear questions or comments generally get clear and rapid responses.

Thx 4 listnin.

I agree as well. Besides making it difficult for those for whom english is not their first language, it's just plain frustrating to read. I can't stand it. I guess you could say it's a pet peeve of mine. A bigger peeve is people that talk loudly on their cell phone on buses or the subway - places where it's not so easy to get away from that person. But that's a topic for a different thread.
