exactly. even if some clever fucker does deem capitals inappropriate (which I highly doubt), I'll still use them. like I said in my last message; apostrophes aren't going to be used, in years to come - so I'm told. I love the apostrophe, so I'm obviously quite annoyed. people need to stop fucking around with a language that already works! :sus:

no sentences were harmed in the quoting of the above post
 
Why have you kept "I" as a capital? What difference could that possibly make if we're playing by your rules?


Tbh, I don't know if it's just because it looks weird but I find that harder to read than if it was written properly. If I was skimming through it, looking for a particular sentence, it is far easier to look for the capital letter than look for the letter after the full-stop.

Your idea is stupid.
 
shuddup you.

it ain't my idea you numpty. it was someone elses. I just liked it and it made total sense when I read about it. I have no intention of campaigning to get anything changed.

i is always capitalised, whether it's at the beginning of a sentence or not, so that would logically stay the same. that's pretty silly too tho [I always being a capital] .. but it's probably got a reason which may or may not be equally as stupid as the capital/new sentence rule.

please post a wav file of you reading out your last post. I want to hear you speak the queen's English impeccably.

queenie's not getting a capital either, since she's worthless and undeserving

meh, I could only ever use sound recorder in windows accessories ...

someone tell him how to use his mac please.

I want to larf at thee Glaswegian trying to speak like whut e's preachin'

[edit]!!!
just saw ... will give a list now
 
hahaha you're aving a larf ...... nerdboy just came in the kitchen asking 'whut the fuck's THAT'? is that some nutter from BL?!

you have no authority over me and the written word any longer. all right's surrendered with that monstrous slaying of the mother tongue

wash out your mouth and silence your shame forever.
 
it would seriously take me at least 5 attempts of listening and pausing to even beginning to transcribe that into some form of sense.

haha I love it. scottish accents are ace. glaswegian is a language all of its own
 
Hahaha, quality. That was my slightly toned down accent as well. It would have been much harsher & involved much more random swearing if I wasn't reading a script.

& no, that's not my phone voice haha. That's my phone voice when I start to get pissed off at someone & I slightly slip back into talking normally.


Edit - If I can figure out how to record a call on my phone I'll record a conversation between me & one of my mates at some point during the weekend. That'll really fuck your head up.

Longish post, stimmed ramble!

what's the movement I read about that was anti-capital letters ( because most of them are unnecessary and don't make sense?) ... it kind of made sense to me, and possibly was part of the beat movement?

just googled and couldn't find

Ahhh stims -- I went hunting all over the net for a couple of hours to try to find this (for no reason other than compulsive stimmyness), but couldn't. Way too much internet. I learned that when Uzbekistan Latin-ified its alphabet in the 20s they really didn't want to include capital letters, but were forced to by their soviet buddies. There's also plenty of complaining from foreigners from countries without capital letters, but couldn't find any campaign to get rid of them!

:sus: :sus: :sus:

I'm a bit of a grammar Nazi, but I kinda agree that a lot of 'good grammar' is superfluous. Capitalisation, apostrophes, correct spelling.... since the majority of internet users manage to understand each other, is it all a big waste of time? I don't know. I guess I worry about it being a slippery slope from not using apostrophes one day to writing one of those impenetrable posts with no punctuation or paragraphs whatsoever.

:sus:

I really wish I could stop myself automatically thinking 'moron' (or more appropriately 'MORON') every time I read prose entirely written in lower case. I know there are plenty of people who aren't morons at all and just want to buck the conventions or avoid pressing 'shift'. It's just reflex on my part though.

Haha, I still do that a bit (especially there/they're and you're/your, cringe), but have become more tolerant as I've gotten older. I had a really hard time when I was younger getting on with people at all -- especially people who weren't very smart. I'd try and try to dumb myself down, and still end up being :? or causing :?:X Not been a problem for many years (since before I joined BL I think) -- I guess we all have the same problems now whether we're smart or not, so plenty of common ground. But I still do have a bit of a knee-jerk response to bad English: "this is going to be a lot of effort and won't end well", which is generally unfair.

What am I on about? :sus: :sus: I seem to have been typing for a reeaaally long time, but haven't really typed that much. Ah stims! Right. I'll stop now.

No phonecall recording but I did film a bit of the telly while we were doing a daft (& pretty much utter nonsensical) voiceover to it at about 9am Sunday morning. I'd be willing to bet that 99% of you can't even make out one word haha.

We'd been doing this for about 20 minutes before I thought to get my phone out, missed the best bits. It was fucking hilarious at the time.
