QOTD: Punctuation?

Posted on September 3, 2010 by Shaun

I have asked this question before, but want to know if I am the only one. When you add a calendar entry, contact or anything else that others do not see, do you still use proper capitals and punctuation? I do all of the time no matter what I am typing.

    Sure do. It’s imperative.

    Always. I thought it was just me being a bit OCD.

    “Always. I thought it was just me being a bit OCD.”

    It’s not OCD, it’s CDO. MUST be alphabetical!!!

    I disagree. I think it should be COD. I like mnemonics to sound like real words.

    Me ten? (I’ve lost count.) I’m surprised that it seems unanimous. A follow up would be whether everyone uses caps and punctuation when they text (besides the abbreviations). And whether this is age related at all.

    It’s definitely a generational thing.

    Wally who is over 70 and visits 247 never uses any punctuation or capital letters.

    Second childhood :-) Says one who is hopefully only a few years away. Great excuse. It’s just that the toys are fancier.

    I use proper spelling and punctuation all the time, even in SMS messages. The idea of getting sloppy with my writing even on a phone just offends my sensibilities. Maybe not a generational thing as Shaun mentioned above, but I’d almost bet us older folks tend to be more “anal” about this than young’uns who are generally more casual.
