Got this from our Technical Writer:

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 capitalization.

Those of you who fall into this world, please take note of the

statement below. I cannot stress enough how grammar is very

important to the meaning.

Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack

off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse.

Is everybody clear on that?

Don't forget punctuation as well.
I had a friend who used to email me a lot.
He never used caps or any punctuation.
It was just a huge run-on sentence.
You could never understand the meaning.
I took one of his message and punctuated it myself.
I was able to make about 4 completely different messages
out of it.

Punctuation is important.
Let's eat, Grandma.
Let's eat Grandma.
