I do start my sentences with capitals, and end with punctuation.

Yea, I also begin sentances with capital letters and end each sentance with the approriate punctuation. I also put two spaces after each puncutation. Not because I think it's cool to have that extra space, but because it is grammatically correct.

Also, and just a side note: your user name should read "mywife'snameisHonda." But that's just a technical thing.

Hmm, I don't think I double space on forums. Maybe I do, but since I am being called out on it, I cannot tell. I know I do it on any Microsoft word document I write.

The forum automatically makes a double space only a single.

Pretty much. C5 only rolls with a single space.

What can I say? Jack Daniels got the best of my proof reading skills when I posted the title.

I simply find it annoying when someone skips a letter or two to condense a word for texting/internet shorthand. Take the extra hundred milliseconds to type the actual word, please?

It is very annoying. But... one of those texts might be coming from someone next to me driving that blue car that can't seem to stay in their lane. Maybe I can live with the shorthand version! (Emphasis on live)
