Watch you cap usage

Found on a ham radio forum:

In the world of hi-tech gadgetry. I've noticed that more and more people who send text messages and emails have long forgotten the art of capital letters.
For those of you who fall into this category, please take note of the following statement.

"Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse."

Is everybody clear on that?

Of course someone had to respond with a picture:

The horse appears to be clear about the point being made.

Surely that's also a question of hyphenation, not merely capitalisation.

Hyphenation?

In the spirit of the thread a suitable example is in order?

The example I have remembered from elementary school is the difference between a dog eating chicken and a dog-eating chicken.

You know you're an engineer when you always think cap means capacitor and expected the thread to be about bypassing your supply rails... Of course, every programmer is quite familiar with case sensitivity...

What's ironic about the title is the obvious misspelling.

I came in expecting a lecture about how we should hold back on using capacitors because of the environment or something.

Left disappointed... =(

"Let's eat grandma!" versus "Let's eat, grandma!" But that falls under punctuation I believe ...

Sorry, I'll try better in the future. Not. 8)
