In which I am again confronted with change

That title. That title is in sentence case. This is because the writing style at work has been adjusted so that all titles will be in sentence case.

It seems putting titles in title case is “old-fashioned.” I immediately thought I should write an email in which every Sentence Was In Title Case, But I Did Not.

So, I have been trying to adopt this new title style, because I do want to keep up with the kids today. But it looks so odd. Does It Not?

Oh NO. Good luck with making the change. (at least you will not have to look up which words, exactly, are prepositions or conjunctions, though; nevertheless and throughout and similar words can be tricky, at least for me...)

(I think non-title-case looks odd for things which are definitely titles, but blog/internet titles sometimes aren't really... titles?... so it works either way.)

(I refuse to give up all my punctuation in text messages, so I am apparently not going to keep up with kids these days in any event.)

KC - oh, I have already dropped all punctuation. Two friends are already perturbed. Just one more typo to make, I say.

I have dropped some punctuation (esp. at the end of statements) now that I am on a phone that predicts words, because it is multiple buttons to create a period instead of just one. (you have to "close out" the word and then hit the punctuation button and select the period)

So technology is affecting my text message grammar. I think I'd be more annoyed if I thought it was *trying* to do that?

KC - I would be happy to be lax but friends are sticklers. I’d be okay if it wanted to do some work for me.
