What's the deal with no punctuation in emails? Every day (and this will give you a clue as to my level of dorkdom) I check the headlines on AOL to see if there are any interesting articles to read (honestly, this is how I get my news). Then after reading an article ("Swedish study shows correlation between suicide and breast enhancement!"), people can post comments (I am ashamed to admit that I have done so, an offense for which I should bear a scarlet "D" on my shirt for "dumbass"). Anyways, I have noticed a startingly lack of punctuation in these comments, and in other forms of digital communication. Are people too lazy to hit the 'shift' key and capitalize a letter? And that '.' key certainly must be too much of a strain for all those ring fingers. Or could it be that the only people posting comments (besides me) are a bunch of 13 year old hooligans (riff-raff and their crazy shenanigans) who obviously haven't taken Keyboarding class?
The big brown bear jumped over the lazy fox. Or was it the fox that jumped over the bear? Either way I can still type it without looking at my fingers. Can I go play Oregon Trail now?

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy bear. Though I like the mental image of the big bear jumping over the fox - perhaps in a tutu. "Tra-la-la! I'm jumping over this silly little fox." Here's where my true dorkdom shines (as if the bear in the tutu were not enough): the quick brown fox sentence is used because it contains every letter in the alphabet. Thank you. I'll take my pocket protector prize package now.
Wait! After reading that I have to stand corrected! The sentence is: "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog." And it has every letter of the alphabet, except for the letter "s". There are no bears involved in this typing classic.
actually it is
the quick brown fox jumpS over the lazy dog.
then all the letters are used....
Well thank God we got that straightened out. True dorks unite! Anonymous, you can play Oregon Trail now. Maybe you'll pass my gravesite. I always did suck at that game.
