capital letters

1) Helping your uncle Jack off a horse argumentIn this argument pro uses semantics to try to downplay the clear and obvious usefulness of capital letters and how they clarify the meaning of a sentence. Pro then argues that this isnt a common enough problem to warrant keeping capital letters and again misses the point about the usefulness that capital letters carry with them. 2) Separating sentences with Capital letters"c'mon, you're saying we should continue to use two seperate sets of letters for the sake of the elderly?"The elderly arent the only people who struggle reading Pro..... People who are dyslexic, just learning a new language, or even just really really tired all use capital letters to distinguish between two different sentences and help them comprehend a text better. "they will probably have other reading issues as well, hence large text books."So your solution to small text would be to make the text bigger? Funny because larger text is just a lot like USING CAPITAL LETTERS. ^ See how that point sunk in, Ill get back to that later...."when i said this, i didn't mean distinguishing individual sentences from each other, but distinguishing different types of sentences, like perhaps only capitilizing quotes or some other sort of rule."So you mean youre lack of using capital letters in your sentence led to someone misreading what you meant to say? I introduce this as new evidence for why capital letters are useful. Also, the argument still stands. 3) Why should we be trying to make English more efficient exactly?"then capitals don't, in many cases, serve any purpose in making a text more readable, therefore removing them would make writing out something quicker and more efficient. i can see how you might have missed this reasoning, becuase i had hidden it all the way IN THE SENTENCE RIGHT BEFORE THAT ONE."I have already shown that capital letters are effective and do serve a purpose (which the Pro danced around). The pro himself also has shown that failure to capitalize leads to people misinterpreting his own arguments, yet pro still somehow tries to argue that capitalizing letters somehow leads to more inefficiency.....In other words:Round 2) Pro argues that capital letters arent efficient Round 3) Pro clarify's what he meant to say because his uncapitalized sentences caused confusion, and then goes on to say that capitalization still makes sentences inefficient.....Hysterical I know. 4) Use of all capital letters to make a point"and this brings me to the point of using capital letters to change your tone. i'll admit that capital letters can be useful when you want to express anger or iritation."Point conceded"but wouldn't the paragraph seem much more pleasant if i hadn't used caps?"Have you seen the internet or literature lately??? The hottest thing on the internet right now is a video of a girl sucking on her own bloody tampon while the hottest book right now (50 shades of Grey) is a book about super erotic sex acts.... These days literature isnt meant to be pleasant, its meant to make a point and captivate you..... Language isnt geared to be pleasant, language was literally invented to help make a point to someone else, and in that definition, capital letters only increase how efficient a person gets the message across to somebody else. For example: MANATEES CAN SUCK THEIR OWN D*CK WITHOUT BENDING OVERSee? You just learned something interesting, and the chances you would have remembered such a fact by reading it in all lowercase letters would be much smaller then reading it in all caps. This means that using caps makes a language more efficient because language is meant to get a point across to someone else the best way possible, not as pleasently as possible. "in both sentences, a sense of yelling is demonstrated, but the second one seems unecessarily urgent."But the second one also captures your attention better and engages you into whatever scenario is going on."on your statements over how spelling and grammer can often be a good way to tell noobs from pro's, i disagree with you. in my experience, often the person who is best at math or sience is the worst at spelling and grammar"Well science disagrees with you. And yes, science has a 'c' in it....http://brooklynbased.net...
