WHOAH WHOAH slow down there you maniac, you missed a capital on the "is" :busted1: Trying to get someone killed?

I try to restrain myself with correcting spelling...I'm not perfect myself. It's only really a problem when you can't figure out the meaning bcuz dey typ lyk dis.

Punctuation rarely matters as much, except in rare circumstances:

I helped my uncle jack off a horse.

as versus

I helped my uncle Jack off a horse.

LOL

Hey Steve we don't care what you and your Uncle did , but don't worry whats told on the forum stays on the forum.

The story could have been worse.

Fixed. It's the commas that make the correction, not the use of a capital J

No commas in my example, so, not really relevant, is it, ,,,, ,,, ? The capital is required, not the commas, don't you agree?

Actually on second thought and to get the thread back on track, who cares :)

Next cruise: day or night?

There were no commas in your example, hence why I added them. Without the commas you are saying the exact same thing... With or without the capital J. Don't you agree?

I see truth in both statements, where the capital J indicates a name so it doesn't get read as"jacking off" because of the persons name.

The commas on the otherhand make it definite in what's being said, there is no argument in the meaning of the sentence with them in place.
