How One High School Teacher Made her Point

A high school English teacher had become frustrated with the lack of writing skills her students were exhibiting.  She felt it necessary to address the class regarding her concerns.
Below is what she said to her class - it was short and to the point and is good advice for all of us:  

"In a world of hi-tech gadgetry, I have noticed more and more people - especially young people - who send text and email messages frequently that seemed to have forgotten the art and importance of using capital letters in their writing. 


For those of you who fall into this category, please take note of the following statement:

Capitalization is very important.  It is the difference between:

1) Helping your Uncle Jack off a horse.

2) Helping your uncle jack off a horse.
"
