The use of Capital letters?

Not to be pedantic...I'm not a 'grammar Nazi'..!

I often notice new posts where the poster starts their post off without using a Capital letter.!

I also notice that on many replies to posts, very few start off with a Capital letter...Is it just laziness or an actual lack of basic grammar?

Or is it the 'norm' these days NOT to use capital letters when posting on 'Forums'?

I think forums are a casual way of communicating so usual rules don't really apply. I always try to use caps in the right place but if I'm typing a quick reply I sometimes don't bother to use them.

I think it's sometimes laziness and sometimes poor education - you can spot the latter easily as they often use apostrophes incorrectly and omit using questionmarks for question and so on.

Skitt's Law strikes again!

It should be a small c but consistency is everything!

And spaces:)

That aside, I agree.

I’ve also noticed a link between poor punctuation and grammar and overtly nationalistic posters.

'One should never use exclamation points in writing. It's like laughing at your own joke.' (Mark Twain).

Maybe they should bring back Capital punishment, that'll show 'em.

Guilty as charged; though the sight of multiple exclamation marks makes my insides bleed.
