NWR: Can we use punctuation and capital letters (when necessary) sometimes?

That. would. be. super. helpful. Thanks.

that way i don't have to read a paragraph that looks like this and try so hard to decipher it on a random wed afternoon in october ya know it can be such a pain in the butt sometimes it makes my head hurt worse than when my niece and nephew come by and wreak havoc in my office while i'm trying to talk on the phone to a very important client they want to make some arrangements with me and it's so hard ya know.

i believe i put the EMPHaSIS on the wrong SYLLaBAL?>,.

i never use a capital letter when starting a new sentence, b/c honestly im too lazy, i type so much faster without having to use the shift buton - but i do use dashes, commas, periods, exclamation points and questions marks - so im not THAT bad am i?

welcome to my life

something else i enjoy; is when students use punctuation that they don't, understand!!:

CAN WE TYPE IN ALL CAPS SO EVERYONE LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE YELLING AT EACH OTHER?

this looks like one of my students wrote it no punctuation paragraphs or indents

in 3rd grade i teach them that commas are stop signs because we pause and then go on periods are red traffic lights because we come to a complete stop at the end of a sentence and then begin again

typing like this without punctuation is hard

I am soooo guilty of this. I try to use punctuation and caps when necessary but between 8-5 I type from work, so I am speed typing....
oh well ... I try

This is a total pet peeve of mine! I'm like a punctuation, capital letter, paragraph nazi! It bothers me more than bad grammar; which just makes me cringe sooo bad!

ETA: Spelling!

Please please take this as friendly because that's how it's meant, but I smiled when I saw your post. Spelling is a pet peeve of mine— I notice it everywhere. Grammer is actually spelled grammar.

Guess it's the teacher in me.

sorry to barge.. but on this msgboard, i always always type like this... i'm sure its not that difficult to read... and not for nothing, why is perfect grammar needed on here? just wondering why this annoys people so easily...

its a message board, grumpy.

guilty as charged.......sorry

It drives me crazy on here -- though I am sure I am guilt of it. But it really drives me crazy when all the girls at work send e-mails to clients like they are chatting on AOL or myspace
