Wasnt there a Poet who used no CAPITALS and PUCTUATION?

If one can read the post, dont worry about it!:rolleyes:

If You cant, then ask a question!:p

ee cummings, he didn't even capitalize his name. But his poems weren't hard to read, when there's a long paragraph with no punctuation, that sometimes gets hard to read.

Actually, yes he did. It was publishers who took to using ee cummings rather than E.E. Cummings.

And he did sometimes use capital letters in his poetry -- he just used capitalization (and punctuation and typography) in an unconventional manner for poetic effect, such as "i" rather than "I." ("I am a small eye poet," he once wrote to his mother.) Nevertheless, one of the poems in XAIPE is i thank You God for most this amazing day. The poet emphasizes his own humility by not capitalizing "i" while capitalizing "You God."

But as you say, it's one thing to do this in a short poem with short lines. It's quite different in a long paragraph.

Memorize this quote. You may use in on any thread here on GC that has more then 15 posts, as it will probably apply.

Last time I checked, until only has one "L":p :)

ETA: I'm just messing with you. At least your posts are readable.

That's a spelling error, grammatical errors usually refer to misusage of words or punctuation, QED.

Last time I checked spelling was a pretty important part of grammar.
