I find the general lack of capital letters disturbing.

I like grammar. What's wrong with it? I agree, using "1337 speek" can express things to n00bs that otherwise would be lost, but there's a reason that the English language evolved the way it did people.

Who knows how to properly use a semi-colon? Not I, but I'm sure there is an entire body of knowledge regarding ';' that will soon be lost to all of us. Kind of like how the U.S. forgot how to make their Trident nuclear warheads...

But obviously, not as bad.
It still frustrates me to think that things like calligraphy and proper scriptive writing are going the way of the Betamax, all because of the computer. Not that I'm a shining example, far from it. I still half-handwrite and half-print anytime I find myself with a pen and paper.

In conclusion, go learn calligraphy.
