    Why do a certain group of people not capitalize the I, when referring to themselves, while posting. Is it out of humility, laziness or lack of literate skills.

    why do some people not use question marks at the end of questions?

    laziness (no offense, Mod-80). add onto that: poor, if not omitted, punctuation, spelling errors, incorrect grammar, & the failure to re-read their posts to check for errors & subsequent editing. selicha, but it’s my pet peeve. … no hard feelings, y’all! 🙂

    [altho I’ll allow for the fact if someone’s writing quickly & perhaps passionately, they might not want to waste time to capitalize.]

    and, please– no comments that I don’t capitalize the first word of my sentences ;D

    Mod80:

    Why some people do not use question marks at the end of questions? Could be a slip-up. Maybe a rhetorical question. But not limited to a certain group.

    personally, only in rare cases do I correct others’ posts. ‘Haifagirl’ & our beloved ‘eclipse’ are always well-received. but I don’t wanna be a nudnik

    :-O

    btw, BaalHabooze~ it’s ‘ppl’ or ‘peeps’ ;-P

    Capital “I”

    We all live in a capital I

    In the middle of the desert

    In the center of the sky.

    All day long we polish up the I

    To make it clean and shiny

    So it brightens up the sky.

    Rubbing it here

    And scrubbing it there.

    Polishing the I

    So high in the air.

    And as we work we sing a lively tune

    “It is great to be so happy on a busy afternoon.”

    And when we’re through with the day’s only chore,

    We go into the I

    And we close the door.

    Capital I, capital I,

    Capital I, capital I.

    ‘ur not imp enough for me’

    That actually does not go well with… We try to respect and have reverence for all (esp. here where one could be a punk exchanging with a Posek). ????? ????? ????? ?? ??????, for those on texting inventions, who is dignified, honored (s)he who honors, bestows dignity on others. Me? I REALLY don’t care. I’m at the lower rung of the ladder. Hear that all??? But there are chosheve, sincere, caring members around here. Some even pasken & mentor for free!

    I have that problem (actually joy!) sometimes too. I think I’m going to develop a foot pedal for Shift, Alt, Ctrl.

    rhetorical questions still warrant question marks.
