							| Use of capital letters 
 |  
							| I thought this was amusing (though a little risque)     
From a Teacher -- short and to the point.
 
 In the world of hi-tech gadgetry, I �ve noticed that more and more people who send text messages and emails have long forgotten the art of CAPITAL letters.
 For those of you who fall into this category, please take note of the following statement:  
 "Capitalisation is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse........and helping your uncle jack off a horse."
 Is everybody clear on that?

							| Let �s not forget the importance of punctuation. Consider the difference a comma can make: 
 Let �s eat, Grandma.

							| I am surprised!!! The omission of capital 
letters at the beginning of sentences seems to be a problem here and there. My 
students usually forget capital letters, whether they write in Spanish or 
English! :S |  20 Oct 2011
