I, Jon Ferguson, refuse to fall in with you non-conformists. I will continue to use proper grammatical form, in addition to proper sentence structure, in my posts. You language terrorists will rue the day that you fought the establishment! You will always lose!

I will no longer use the symbol { in any of my postings from now on, to provide power to the unsung, downtrodden, underground, grammar, punctuation and spelling heroes of our little corner of this great nation.

JUST SO YOU KNOW THIS IS HOW THE CANADIAN MILITARY DELIVERS OFFICIAL TACTICAL COMMUNICATIONS THERE IS EVEN A COMPUTER PROGRAM THAT FORMATS THE TEXT TO THIS FORMAT CAPITALIZING ALL LETTERS AND REMOVING ALL PUNCTUATION EVEN POSTING ORDERS COURSE ACCEPTANCE ORDERS AND ANY ORDERS THAT DIRECT OFFICIAL MOVEMENTS ARE ALL FORMATTED THIS WAY

It is quite infuriating, rather quickly. I can't imagine what the tactical advantage could be.

Cheers

It prevents conventional decoding techniques from decrypting their communications. Most people will look for the punctuation in order to see where a new directive begins and the old ends. You've just cost the Nucks a super secret to the power of the terrorists. Jerk.

Substance need not be void of order. As a matter of fact, substance loses significance if the reader fails to pick up the nuances of the writer, therefore becoming anything but substance.

well as the apparent spiritual leader of the grammar police perhaps we can begin negotiations for a peaceful settlement tolerance for those of us grammatically challenged but making an effort is all we ask we are willing to throw booker under your knee high boots as a sign of good faith

In a war of txtspk, grmr, and splg, Booker is a weapon of mass destruction, and bodes imminent annihilation of the entire universe as we know it.
