have a look at your other posts with stephen jones. can you not remember reading people's posts and then spotting a mistake and commenting on it in a round about way? maybe you didn't but that was the general feeling I had, but I could be wrong.

my contributions on this website would blur the boundaries of traditional written english and spoken english.

They certainly would/do.

be fair. that was taken out of context, the same as the following where you have no capital letter.

why do you use punctuation (characteristic of most written interactions)?

i guess it's simply a matter of pressing one key at a time rather than holding shift and then pressing a key to get a capital letter. practical reasons.

this is boring now.
