Default Proper Grammer

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. For those of you who fall into this category, please take note of the following statement. I know that I too am spelling challenged and some time auto spell on these smart phones have made it worse (Does anyone remember my FB post where conch turned ****). Anyway the following is food for thought.

"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?

Question....will the horse not be happy with either way? As long as somebody gets off it's all good.

You are right, can make a big difference.

There's still plenty of sunlight left at 4:50 in the afternoon in Franklin. Aren't you supposed to be up there to get some work done?

And I first thought this had something to do with understanding Harvenese.

You're just not right in the head Kimbo. If I ever meet a guy named Jack atop a horse I will go into uncontrolled laughter.
