you must be much more superior then i...

Nobody is trying to be 'superior'...we are all good at something. Perhaps you can build a better fence than I can? In which case I could learn something from you. What's the difference?
The thing is, I would make an attempt to build a better fence.
But the word-challenged amongst us don't bother, saying it is 'our' problem if we don't understand, therefore absolving themselves of any need to do better.

....you can judge somebody's character that you haven't met,by the way they write a post

It is human nature to judge others on what we see of them. Until or unless we get to know them better, our impression is our reality.

yeah that's right.i'm not into the rich yuppie types

Jeez, you think I'm a yuppie because I can spell and use correct grammar?

So what part of West Auckland do you live in...?

[Oscar]

yeah that's right.i'm not into the rich yuppie types

Seriously though - didn't you just post this:

frankly,what a load of bollocks!!!
you must be much more superior then i,if you can judge somebody's character that you haven't met,by the way they write a post

Aren't you being just a wee bit hypocritical?

[mstriumph]

Well, that goes with the territory of being intelligible I'm afraid, otherwise you don't make any sense.

Oscar Wilde said "Nowadays to be intelligible is to be found out."
I'm still trying to fathom whether or not i agree with him ... how about you?

...........peculiar and slightly preoccupied with portraying a different-from-the-norm self-image.

i don't mind that as it's quite possibly true -
i find implied arrogance in the fact that the personal pronoun is capitalized when others are not ...... underlining, in every sentence, that I am more important than you.

Truth is that i, personally, don't subscribe to that - and prefer my pronouns to reflect my reality.

No, I'm not paranoid. Besides my integrity is 100% rocksolid - there is nothing to be "found out" about. That is not to say I have never behaved in a nasty or underhand manner - but I have always faced the fact, made my peace and moved on.

"I" is specific - "you" is used to directly address one or several people. I don't assume you spell your own name without capitalisation as well. I realise that he and she are bastards in this regards since they are specific - but could perhaps have something to do with being a reference in third person or so.

Whether you subscribe to the thought one way or the other is insignificant. Communication is, at the fundamental level, about conveying information in an efficient and inambigious manner. Certain sets of rules have been developed to further that goal, as such if you want to convey your reality to a reader, in a clear and concise manner, you both need to observe the same rules. Be it proper english, text-speak, french or barking.
