i couldn't help but notice a massive preference for low case usernames in here...what's that about?

heh, stupid, right?! ok, my bad.

No! I think that most of us lower case fanaticals are just what remained from the DOS era, when you simply HAD to fill username nd poasswrods that way.
So, here is the rule:

Under 20 y/o = UpperLower
Above 20 = wearestuckin90's

:wink:

i look at it this way typing with 2 fingers most of the time be glad youre seeing any words at all let alone caps and all that stuff .lower case still gets the point across ill get down from my soapbox now hell u might not even get a period when i type.thanx lol i just barely know how to use emoticons hahahahah

Or maybe it's more of a
- CanTypeWithMultipleFingers
- cannottype
kind of rule? :-) SCNR

Even today it's like you know a lowercase username like mine will work everywhere, whereas an uppercase doesn't. So instead of using different usernames, I can stick to this one just about everywhere.

I don't care about lowercase in user names, but proper capitalization in texts (and the use of punctuation and paragraphs) does increase readability. Especially in languages that actually make use of this feature. :-)

Now what about capitalization in song titles? It is very common to capitalize every word except "of", "is", "the" and "from" or so... which is like a very odd rule, isn't it?

Cheers to you my friend. at least there is somebody concerned with readability and good use of language !!!

Actually I wasn't being serious... Even the low cases in the post body were just 4 the show...
Oh well...

I'm hugely enthusiastic about readability and good use of language, myself...
Though I'm very willing to commit some english atrocities...
