    You'll note that there's a pair of SHIFT keys at opposite sides of the QWERTY keyboard. They were placed there in order to facilitate compliance with certain idiomatic standards of the English language.

    Some of these standards include, but are not limited to:

    1) Beginning a sentence with a capital letter.
    2) Capitalization of the word "I" when used to describe oneself.
    3) Initial capitalization of formal names.

    Further, punctuation is often used to seperate different thoughts in written discourse.

    Note the use of these idiomatic standards in the following sentences:

    "Moderator, can we please move this topic to TECHNICAL, since it has finally become an instructional text?"

    and

    "Hey dude, chill! I'm just busting your stones. I really don't give a crap! These geezers should be glad to have mortgage-free humans on this site."

    Actually, there should be a comma between "Man" and "I". There's an apostrophe in "didnt". There's a question mark at the end of the first sentence. "Guys" shouldn't be capitalized, and there should be a question mark at the end of that sentence. In the last sentence, you left out an apostrophe again.

    I'm not an English teacher, but I play one on the internet. :P

    Did you notice how many typos there were in the messages condemning your style?

    i think you should go back to using your old style the old guys around here need a little brain exercise every once in a while or they get cranky its not like this stuff is of biblical importance come to think of it its amazing how much attention you have to spend on understanding the text when the thoughts all run together like this

    Damn, that was hard to type without punctuation!
