kingston ontario: Capitals make a HUGE difference! - 09/06/15 02:02 AM
I have a problem with the use (or misuse) of capitals  -  letters that is, capital letters.
(Not Kingston Ontario which used to be the Capital of Upper Canada where I list and sell a lot of real estate!)
They're either being used to excess as in
STOP TYPING IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE IT MEANS YOU'RE YELLING AT ME!
or
They're not being used enough as with this tv commercial that drives me crazy every time I see it. 
(note: I know nothing about this company other than their commercial and I am not endorsing them nor malining them.  They are just an example!)

Three bridges are incorporated into the causeway, the center one being a Strauss trunnion bascule lift bridge designed by Joseph Strauss, designer of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.
