How can you not have a capital at the start of your name?

[3 Sheets To The Wind]

This has been bugging me for a while. I'm all about my grammar and punctuation and all that stuff. What i want to know is, how the fuck you can live with yourself knowing your name on here hasn't got a capital at the start.
This may sounds really weird.. but that's how i feel.

robert42 for example, i'd have to make it Robert42
beachguy in thongs - Beachguy In Thongs
buddymyfriend - Buddymyfriend
Whos Carl - needs to be Who's Carl (if you can put an apostrophe in your name)

There are many, many others, but i just feel that for a name that people see many times a day, it needs to be written correctly.

:twocents:

[BongSmokityDuo]

what a dork

[koshea]

wtf grammar nazi

[3 Sheets To The Wind]

what a dork
Oi, at least you have a capital there.

[NightProwler]

lol yea I capitalized mine. I noticed you didn't capitalize your "i"

[Nochowderforyou]

Not everyone here is as, what's the word, they don't really care because it's not like they're being graded in life for this, because it's easier for them.

I try and type, and write in a proper manner, that's how I was taught a few years back in English when I upgraded. Before, I could care less, but the more I do it, the better I get at it. You never know that someday I may have to write a very important letter, to some important person, for an important reason. I don't want to look like a dipshit when I'm 30.

I don't think you should really care how other people write 3sheets. As long as I can read it, understand it, then who cares. Your not the English teacher here, I am! ;) Kidding...don't be such a prude though :) Peace

I don't care how people type, i'm on about the usernames on here, how people can not put a capital at the start.. and yes, i always just write "i" as it's easier... but i care about my name, that has been seen many thousands of times lol.

[Green Love]

I like grammar and all, makes sense 2 start ur name with a capital letter. Its a representation of one's self. Makes me think of that old phrase of words; stand up, chest out, and head straight. lol. Respect :dance:

[3 Sheets To The Wind]

I like grammar and all, makes sense 2 start ur name with a captial letter. Its a represenation of oneself. Makes me think of those old phrase of words; stand up, chest out, and head straight. lol.
Me and you will get on.
I feel the same, your name is who you are on here, have respect for it, if you don't use proper grammar when you type, at least make your name look good with capitals and all :D

[lateralus]

But a name in no way represents who we truly are. It's just a word.

I remember actually considering whether or not I should make the L capital. I decided not to because I figured it would look better.

[SensiRide]

I understand where you are coming from 3 sheets, it doesnt really bother me how other people write their names but I can imagine it makes you feel uncomfortable, like if I see something squint I have to put it straight or it annoys me.

I dont like writing i, it has to be I!

We are such weirdos :rasta:

Ok, from now on I'll write it as "I" so as not to be a hypocrite, lol.

Yeah, I'm a perfectionist, I love symmetry, which I think has something to do with why things have to be in line and stuff.

It's not like I put everything in order, my room's usually a mess... but when people can see, I like things to be in tip-top condition :D

[Az.]

I dont like writing i, it has to be I!


Im the same...and i always start my sentance with a capital....except aftere i do that .... thing, that means im thinking

[lateralus]

Well, the L/l phenomenon does have a tendency of confusing people. Think "imao". You know.. that crazy Asian word? ;)

[Green Love]

True its just a word, but a word representing urself before others. Just as if you were to use Mr. vs nothing, it implies respect.

[3 Sheets To The Wind]

I see this thread's going to be a hit, as it involves everyone on this site :D

Yeah, spread the word people.. use good grammar :rasta:

[SensiRide]

It is quite surprising how many people don't have a basic grasp of grammar and punctuation. I have read emails from company directors that can't use 'there & their' properly and 'to & too' it might be trivial to some people, but it is noticible.
I've noticed it's mainly people who don't read a lot of books who can't spell/punctuate that well.

I know someone who failed to get into the police because they had a few spelling mistakes and punctuation errors in their written essay.

I get what you are saying but I look at it differently.

When I chose my screen name I looked at it a few different ways, Likemclever, LikemClever, and likemclever.

I went with likemclever because I found it more visually appealing. (Straight lines with better flow type of thing.) I like to make my posts look nice. I also like punctuation and grammar but I donâ??t insist upon it. Iâ??m mostly interested in the thought process behind the writing.

It seems to me that I go through phases with my punctuation. I went through a semicolon period that was fucking wild. And Iâ??m still a big fan of the â?¦..

[vipper of vip]

it's a logo. it doesn't have to have capitals. it's art.

I like the name, and I'd say no it doesn't count, it would like shit as XNoa, I'm just on about people that have real words that are understandable, but without a capital letter at the start, lol :D

Actually, I'd like to find out where your name comes from, shame you can't remember.

lol :p

[psychopixi]

I can be a gramar nazi in the -worst- way, especially over text speak, and sticky caps. I'd hate to see my real name; Cerys, written without a capital, and seeing sentences beginning with a lower case letter often makes me twitch. Seeing the words I; I'm; I've etc... written as i; im; ive is also really annoying.

As for my screen name, I'm undecided. While I like "Pixi" when it has a capital letter, I don't know about "psychopixi". Most of me goes "eek, capitalise the first letter" but a small part of me figures that "it's only a screen name, and it looks better with a lowercase letter".

But if you exercise those skills, it makes you look more insightful, respectable and is good practice for when needing to use them for important work. This site has helped me a lot, wen i used 2 type like this on msn, wen it came 2 writin prply for skool and shit i found it hard to do. So this site has helped me, as typing proper like this is now second nature, and I don't need to think about it anymore :)

I used to be an AOLer, and you'll meet hundreds of people who seemed to have stopped paying attention to their English lessons in fourth grade.

i also used 2 type like this, u kno

Then I started using apostrophes to make up for the missing letters:

i kno' whatcha mean

My current typing seems to be a mixture of proper English and how I would speak in real life.

[buddymyfriend]

Not sure why I didn't use capital letter for my buddymyfriend. I think it may have something to do with when you create your account or maybe just poor grammer. My username shouldnt really require a capital as its not a name. I always sign my post with a capital though, strange!

Peace

Buddy

[ArtRollins]

Wow, is "how can you not" strange in itself?

the lowercase is from original unix names. nasty carryover wouldnt you say? All file names work better in lower case, and as you know using the shift all the time is a pain in the ass. Did you ever program in UNIX?

Anyway, a bit about caps. As you well point out, a proper name for an individual is with the first letter of the name in caps with the rest in lower case (fully spelled out). So I am Art Rollins and it represents a human. However whenever you see a representation claimed to be your name in all caps, beware. Only acronyms and legal corporations are represented in all caps. That is, only "things" or things under "color of law" have their "names" as all caps. So, let's say a letter addressed to ART ROLLINS is not to the human person Art Rollins unless I want to become the corporation or human answering to such acronym or legal corporation. It is a mea culpa combined with a caveat emptor thing. so I prefer to return them as addressee unknown.

The nexus the government has on us is usually from ones acceptance of being a corporation. Next time you look in the mirror ask yourself, do I look like a corporation, or a human. Dont identify yourself with all caps.

Did you ever program in UNIX?Original Unix, or descendents thereof? I have, and I can safely say that I seriously doubt that has anything to do with stoner forum naming conventions. :rolleyes:

I agree with lowercase working better, though. Working with dozens of files with mixed case gets tedious fast.
