Why are you so interested in capitalization and grammar?

deoxy99 · « **Reply #2 on:** March 23, 2010, 04:02:58 PM »

I want perfect grammar, or I am not posting it...

Capitalizing Think isn't correct.

I just capitalize certain words which I respect. I'll stop capitalizing so many words from now on, but I will still capitalize Science, Future and Technology if it's okay.

deoxy99 · « **Reply #6 on:** March 24, 2010, 08:03:13 AM »

But why the word "think"?

Bla · « **Reply #7 on:** March 24, 2010, 08:40:05 AM »

Because our great ability to think is the foundation of our knowledge and Science, and basically everything that makes us different from the rest of the animals.

What's grammarcommunism? How are you able to mix communism with grammar?

Why not say something right now that has several "think"'s and bold them instead, so I can see what I THINK about it...Get it?

Bla, are you a philosopher? You sound like it.

deoxy99 · « **Reply #11 on:** March 24, 2010, 07:53:45 PM »

Just add italics to those words.

Aha, okay. Loooool.

And Grammar nazism.
The Second Grammatical War sounded exciting though, and the cold cold grammar war which was -14 degrees Fahrenheit.

I wouldn't call myself a philosopher, but... I like philosophy a little bit, but only if it's thought out Scientifically. I'm more like a Science fan.
The idea of bolding certain words was also good, but I think I'll just be a Grammar Communist until I encounter Science, Technology or Future.

or rather...

I'm a Science fan.

Just don't capitalize it at all, please? I don't like it.

Dan Dixon · « **Reply #15 on:** March 25, 2010, 03:10:32 PM »

You're right that it's not supposed to be capitalized.

Something I've been thinking about is whether "solar system" should be capitalized when described as "our solar system" in the way siblings might say "our mom". In that case "mom" is not capitalized.

Technically deoxy, we CAN do whatever we want. It is America you know. We don't have to do everything just for you.

Chaotic Cow · « **Reply #17 on:** March 25, 2010, 04:07:14 PM »

Solar System should be capitalized as it is the name of our system.

I don't say Our dan dixon. :]

Our mom is lower case because mom isn't a name but a title.

deoxy99 · « **Reply #18 on:** March 25, 2010, 04:09:23 PM »

No, mom is a common noun.

atomic7732 · « **Reply #19 on:** March 25, 2010, 04:10:17 PM »

Mom is both.

Chaotic Cow · « **Reply #20 on:** March 25, 2010, 04:14:12 PM »

"Mother" depends.

If you use it as a title which includes the name then it should be capitalized.

Example: "Mother Tina"

At least I would think.

You can't do crime, there will always be things we cannot do.

But Yes, that Doesn't Restrict us from Being Grammar Capitalists (I Guess that Are People who Capitalize Many Words that Should Not be Capitalized.

).

Well, that is kind of what I mean.

You capitalized every word! Lol

Bla · « **Reply #24 on:** March 26, 2010, 08:50:54 AM »

yes, perhaps it was taking it a little bit too far... now there are no capitalized letters for the grammar poor.

deoxy99 · « **Reply #25 on:** March 26, 2010, 11:53:19 AM »

You took it too far again!
