I want to know whether the majority of the quake3world community is annoyed by people who post sentences that don't use proper capitalization. like this sentence right here that i am writing as an example. If a good majority of you hate people who post like that, then I will henceforth cease my habit of writing in all lowercase and will work to instill good grammar use on this board.
Your input is much appreciated,

Do posts written in all lowercase annoy the shit out you?

Grammar whoa...
“Majority” is one of those words that can be either singular or plural. Common sense works pretty well in deciding which. If you mean the word to describe a collection of individuals, then the word should be treated as plural: “The majority of e-mail users are upset about the increase in spam.” If the word is used to describe a collective group, then consider it singular: “A 90% majority is opposed to scheduling the next meeting at 6:00 A.M.” If you are uncertain which you mean, then choose whatever form sounds best to you; it's not likely to bother many people.

i find the period to be sufficient in showing where one sentence ends and another begins.mjrpes wrote:I want to know whether the majority of the quake3world community is annoyed by people who post sentences that don't use proper capitalization. like this sentence right here that i am writing as an example.
