[stylist] Pet PVS- not capitolizing words

[Barbara Hammel]

There's a certain kind of poetry -- or its just certain authors, not sure --  
that never capitalize words like I.  I think Nikki Giovanni is one of those 
who does this.  I can't think of any more because when I see it, I 
immediately stop reading it.

Of course, I get Conundrum magazine and those old Englishers don't 
capitalize anything in there.

Barbara,

What words in particular are no longer capitolized? I'm not sure if I'm
aware of what you are referring to. I've heard of capitolizing words for
creative purposes, but I don't know if I've come across something doing
the opposite. Unless of course if you mean in texts or emails, and in
general, though I'm only 30, I can't stand how most communications like
this are written, grin. I still use proper punctuation and sentence
structure when texting; people find it annoying, LOL!

Sincerely,

My biggest pet peeve is incorrect spelling.  And I also don't like this
not
capitalizing words that are traditionally written with them. Barbara
