Bible Note: Ray: You know what I would call it? I, too, would call it something that is meaningful to you. You have as much right to post your thoughts concerning capitalization as others have of carrying on their ceaseless, endless, eternal, limitless, confused and confusing, boring quarrels over secondary or even tertiary issues. (Note: "secondary" does not mean "trivial." I've never used the word secondary as a synonym for trivial.) We've all seen it: quarrels over the placement of a comma or an italicized word or a definition. Give us a break, people. Picking apart every jot and tittle of another's posting demonstrates neither scholarship nor Christian charity (agape). (I don't mean you, Ray. I sincerely don't. I am speaking of posters in general, but not all.) Moreover, I view an interest in capitalization as being a harmless pursuit, one that is a welcome relief from the bitterness and intensity of some of the debates held in a Forum that was never intended to be a discussion group (see Lockman Foundation's Terms of Use). You write: "...but I am pleased, my friends, that you have gotten used to the idea [of capitalizaton]." From reading your many postings, I have become so accustomed to the idea that if I so much as make a typographical error in which I leave out a capital letter, I feel guilty. :-) You are to be commended for maintaing a spirit of gentleness, humility and good cheer in your postings. Keep up the good work. :-) JVH0212 |
