A Return To Capitalization!

For no reason whatsoever, I have decided to return to normal capitalization rules in my posts. I used to, then I quit for a while and have been doing all lower case for a long time now.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the increase in frequency of my use of IM. It’s easier in IM to use all lowercase, since you’re typing quickly in realtime, usually with no time for spellcheck. I bet if you drew a graph and plotted my IM use with my lapse in using proper capitalization rules, you’d find a correlation.

Oddly enough, I find that when I’m using e-mail at work, I can type in upper & lower case without any problem. I wouldn’t want to go all-lc at my co-workers. Except that I do use all-lc on my IM at work. I guess that’s OK; it’s more accepted to not bother with capital letters on IM than on e-mail. E-mail seems more “official.”

“E-mail seems more ‘official'”… I guess that it’s all relative, isn’t it? LOL

I only had to go back over this post and correct ONE capitalization error! Yay for me!

By the way, yes, I am at home on a Friday night. Hey, I’m 33, it’s been a long week. Tonight I watched “The Fifth Element” on our new widescreen HDTV, and right now I’m taking a break from filling in my check registers in Quicken. Later I’m going to go make some popcorn, get a Diet Dr. Pepper, and watch another movie before bed.

Tomorrow night we are going to see “The Rocky Horror Puppet Show” at Quad-C Theatre, directed by none other than the one and only Dane Hoffman (actually he’s NOT the one and only, I just googled his name and found several people that are decidedly not him.) I went to high school with Dane, and I remember him as being very sweet, nice to me when lots of people weren’t, and kinda kooky… and he most definitely did not give any kind of a fuck what people thought of him. Case in point: he came to school one day dressed in a spandex Superman leotard and cape, with red underpants on the outside. Just for the hell of it, I think.
