cAPITAL pUNISHMENT

whoever invented the english language was a fool.

why, i hear you ask.

because they invented capital letters.

now i ask you, why are they necessary?

seriously though, think about it.

name me one instance where they are absolutely necessary.

sure, in some cases, a nice ol' capital X can look pretty badass.

and in other cases capitals can neaten up a bland-looking paragraph.

strangely enough, a nice ol' picture of dr phibes can make

any paragraph look wickedgnarlyradical.

my main gripe with capital letters is the ease to misuse them:

1. caps lock - TYPING WORDS IN CAPS LOCK MAKES ME READ IT AS IF SOMEONE IS YELLING AT ME.
2. caps lock (feat. shift key) - fORGETTING THAT YOU HAVE CAPS LOCK ON, YET STILL ATTEMPTING TO USE CAPITALS IN THE CORRECT PLACES MAKES YOU LOOK ABOUT AS INTELLIGENT AS A SNOWMAN MADE OF HUMAN FAECES. fOOL.
3. capitalising every word - Not Everything Is A Title, Jackass.
4. capitalising every second letter - wOuLd YoU hApPeN tO hAvE a MeNtAl ReTaRdAtIoN?

i really don't see the need for capital letters, it just doubles the amount of learning those poor year one children have to learn.

once, just once, think of the children.
