This has been discussed before, so I know I’m wasting my time with this. But I will say it again in the vain hope that the more lazy and inconsiderate among our users will understand. Capital letters were not invented to make life hard for the less intellectually-gifted. They are there to make life easier for the reader. They serve a purpose, and neglecting to use them shows a lack of respect for the person reading your comments. Please observe the basic niceties that have been agreed upon by millions of people over hundreds of years so that we can communicate more effectively.
Thank you.

maybe because enough of the baby boomers already go to Hamilton Island, and they want to attract the younger ones. I wouldn’t go to Hamilton, personally: it’s too big, too developed, and it’s not even on the reef proper but in the Whitsunday islands, a different geology altogether. there IS coral around the island, but its just isolated bommies rather than a reef with a coral atoll and lagoon affair as one expects from all the publicity photos. the reef itself is a bit further off shore and accessed by seaplane or boat.
if you really want to see the true reef, as in all the dream photos, go to Green Island, or Lizard island. Heron Island is one of the easier ones to get to, as it is at the southern tip of the reef, and it too is a true atoll with lagoon, but its coral is dying off unfortunately.[/quote][/quote]
if you have a problem reading english because it don’t have capital letters then you is prolly retarded…communicate effectively my arse…this is the internet age and we is writing in a chat forum not carving our life stories in granite…i know it’s a tired example but do you really think e.e. cummings was disrespecting his readers by not using capital letters?
you might just as well upbraid dylan for droppin’ “g’s” in his lyrics…linguistic conventions are made to be twisted and broken especially in ephemera such as Internet fora…
