Kiwi Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 "Lets eat, Grandma." vs "Lets eat Grandma." A comma can mean the difference between life and death. "Lets help Uncle Jack off a horse." vs "Lets help Uncle jack off a horse." Poor capitalisation can lead to a sticky end also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Ah'a - I see wh't you did there. Have to admit, I'm suffering from punctuation blindness at the moment. The project I've just finished included spending 4 months editing a 25,000 word document I'd written down to 16,000 words and I've really stopped giving a sh*t about details.
