why do some posters never use capital letters?

[daryn]

i look at it this way..

what's the use? i'm not writing a paper for english class. it's just an internet forum. plus this way i can type a lot faster.. and if i were to capatalize everything properly, but slipped up and missed one here and there, it would look worse than if it were clear that i wasn't trying to capatalize anything.

After spending quite a bit of time having to deal with my chatter while you're on your "vacation," you'd be in a bad mood, too.

I don't know exactly but basically the effect for me is that I typically will not read those poster's posts or just skim them - i.e. elysium, bernie, daryn. If that's what they're going for they succeeded.

Maybe someone can write a "post converter" that fixes all of those pesky punctuation problems. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

choose or chose?

i for one get lazy when using microsoft word for extended periods of time and forget to capitalize i frequently, since msw does it for me. There are so many situations in English that are determined by context.
