<div class="IPBDescription">for gods sake...</div> It Gets Really Irritating When You See Every Single Topic Automatically Capitalised Like This.

Seriously, why? capitals are used for the first letter only and anything else looks anal and stupid.

(move this post if its the wrong forum, i just feel like ranting somewhere.)

It also makes any letters after the first lower-case, so NS always ends up as Ns. Yes, it's silly.

and then people go like this and drone on and on about how their idea work cause having laser guns from star wars would be such a cool idea cause u could shoot aliens with them and stuff and they would like glow whn you shoot and then you could like blow off alien limbs and then a large nuke could go off and kill everyone in the level and then we kinda ramble off topic about how much fun planetside is and how much ns is a rip off of planetside and then a large asteroid hits the person typing like this curtosey of comprox

Vash · April 2003

Hm...I didn't even notice it did that til I read this post. Nifty!

Besides, the proper capitalization of titles and headlines is with every word capitalized, save for articles and some prepositions. It's actually more correct than it is incorrect. Read a newspaper, look at a book, flip through a magazine. You'll see. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Comprox, I'll give you a cookie if you never post without punctuation again. My God, that was hard to follow. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

Also, excuse my ignorance, but what does TTFN stand for?

MedHead · April 2003

Tah tah for now, or something along those lines.

For a sentance lacking any punctuation whatsoever, I actually found it to be pretty easy to follow. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>
