Formal emails like at work I use proper punctuation, but to friends informally, I get lazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-write-my-emails-in-lower-case-unless-im-writing-for-work-or-am-on-the-iphone-you#post-478410 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 15:32:18 +0000 Grace 478410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always use caps in proper places. To me, the lack of them gives me the impression that the user is a teenager who couldn't be bothered. I guess lots of people use their phones because I don't notice lack of caps around here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-write-my-emails-in-lower-case-unless-im-writing-for-work-or-am-on-the-iphone-you#post-478296 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 14:59:59 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 478296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmmm. Nope. Can't get behind lack of caps for anything but maybe a one- or two-word text. And even that is pushing it for me ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-write-my-emails-in-lower-case-unless-im-writing-for-work-or-am-on-the-iphone-you#post-478277 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 14:51:05 +0000 Arden 478277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no, I always use proper capitalization. And honestly, it drives me crazy when other people don't. I don't think it takes that much more effort, although I do understand if you're typing on a phone and in a hurry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-write-my-emails-in-lower-case-unless-im-writing-for-work-or-am-on-the-iphone-you#post-478065 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 13:27:44 +0000 Bao 478065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to use proper capitalization, but sometimes I skip it. If it is a professional email, I try my best to make sure everything is correct. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-write-my-emails-in-lower-case-unless-im-writing-for-work-or-am-on-the-iphone-you#post-477981 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 12:57:45 +0000 ladyfingers 477981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes I get lazy and use all lowercase but then it makes me twitchy and I have to go back through and change everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-write-my-emails-in-lower-case-unless-im-writing-for-work-or-am-on-the-iphone-you#post-477868 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 12:19:13 +0000 pinkcupcake 477868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to use proper punctuation/capitalization in emails and boards, but I'm very careless in text messages. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-write-my-emails-in-lower-case-unless-im-writing-for-work-or-am-on-the-iphone-you#post-477790 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 11:56:36 +0000 tororojo 477790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always use proper capitalization/grammar/punctuation in emails, whether on computer or phone, but I use a Blackberry that makes it really easy--don't own any Apple products. </p> <p>I sometimes enjoy texting in broken English...makes me laugh. I'm weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-write-my-emails-in-lower-case-unless-im-writing-for-work-or-am-on-the-iphone-you#post-477771 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 11:48:32 +0000 chopsuey 477771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ditto!<br /> It drives dh crazy though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-write-my-emails-in-lower-case-unless-im-writing-for-work-or-am-on-the-iphone-you#post-477633 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 11:04:23 +0000 mrs. bird 477633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i hate uppercase letters unless i'm using them to put emphasis on something. so if you see caps used correctly, i'm on my phone =) i'm on a computer right now, hence the lack of them! and with emails, i would use correct grammar and punctuation only if it is a professional email, which is uber rare </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-write-my-emails-in-lower-case-unless-im-writing-for-work-or-am-on-the-iphone-you#post-477626 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 11:02:14 +0000 Adira 477626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to use proper grammar at all times! But I rarely text and I don't have a smartphone or iPad, so all e-mails I send or posts I write are on a computer, so it's easy to write things out correctly, with proper capitalization and punctuation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-write-my-emails-in-lower-case-unless-im-writing-for-work-or-am-on-the-iphone-you#post-477617 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 10:58:32 +0000 littlebug 477617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only time I don't use proper capitalization is on my blog, oddly enough. Otherwise, I capitalize in emails, text messages...everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-write-my-emails-in-lower-case-unless-im-writing-for-work-or-am-on-the-iphone-you#post-477612 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 10:57:25 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 477612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still try to use proper capitalization. I'm a SQL programmer at work, so I use all caps quite a bit. It's nice to be able to use lowercase when I get on the boards :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-write-my-emails-in-lower-case-unless-im-writing-for-work-or-am-on-the-iphone-you#post-477608 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 10:56:56 +0000 aprk 477608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: currently, yes. most often iPhone or iPad though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-write-my-emails-in-lower-case-unless-im-writing-for-work-or-am-on-the-iphone-you#post-477602 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 10:55:20 +0000 Mrsbells 477602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually everything is lowercase on boards and text messages. But I do use caps for emails </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-write-my-emails-in-lower-case-unless-im-writing-for-work-or-am-on-the-iphone-you#post-477600 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 10:54:51 +0000 Mrs. J 477600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I am always as grammatically correct as possible, especially given that I am an English teacher! Sometimes my keyboard bests me, but I hope no one notices ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-write-my-emails-in-lower-case-unless-im-writing-for-work-or-am-on-the-iphone-you#post-477599 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 10:54:39 +0000 mrbee 477599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aprk: are you typing on a computer? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-write-my-emails-in-lower-case-unless-im-writing-for-work-or-am-on-the-iphone-you#post-477594 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 10:53:10 +0000 aprk 477594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>for all personal emails (or these boards, lol) i rarely use caps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-write-my-emails-in-lower-case-unless-im-writing-for-work-or-am-on-the-iphone-you#post-477593 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 10:52:35 +0000 mrbee 477593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you write your emails in lower case or upper case?</p> <p>Does your answer change depending on who you are emailing... or whether or not you're using a smartphone with AutoCorrect? </p>
