Jackass starts with a capitol 'J'. Also, a sentence such as, '"jack ass" is one word' normally ends with some form of punctuation. The acceptable and most common punctuation to use in this situation would be a period (.) - an indication the statement is complete. Other fitting punctuation could be seen in the form of an exclamation mark (!) - giving the sentence a more forceful approach, as though shouting or, exclaiming. If so desired, one could also use a question mark (?) - turning the sentence from a statement into a question. One could also use a comma (,), semicolon (;), or hyphen (-), in the event that, '"jack ass" is one word' had not been the entirety of the sentence. As example: '"jack ass" is one word, unlike anonymous poster.' (Note: proper comma usage). '"jack ass" is one word; only someone with too much time on their hands would bother to point that out.' (Note: semicolon comma usage). '"jack ass" is one word - the only word I know.' (Note: proper hyphen usage).

BTW, I can't see this entry when I'm logged in, so you know. That's weird.
