    You are a dieing breed. But that does not mean that you are dieing and must breed.

    well in the cyberworld people just tend to type lazily i mean we can't be so uptight about things like these all the time but when we are at school or work we will use good punctuation and grammar. relax more

    It makes it more difficult to read, which is why we have things like rules of grammar, punctuation and capitalization in the first place.

    Also, it's just a basic respect thing, IMO.

    You'll notice that most people in THIS part of the ""cyberworld" are capitalizing and punctuating, so I'd say that's the norm here...

    Welcome! I hope that you find this a good resource for information and a (relatively) friendly community of our fellow fencers!

    But...it's not just you and your friends HERE. Many of us do NOT find this habit endearing...

    A little courtesy, if you please?

    I mean, unless all you care about is your own convenience and the Devil take everyone else...

    Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.
