As a former English teacher, I appreciate the example used in the following. Only wish I could have used it in 8th grade classes - I’m sure they would’ve gotten it then.

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.

“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?
