On a different note I would like to help you out, as you seem to be having a few problems typing. I have noticed that you cannot find the "shift" keys as you seem unable to use them. I would like to help you locate and use them.
There are two shift keys on your keyboard and odds are good they are not both broken. The first one is located on the left next to the Z button (of which I know you know its location) and the second one is located by the ? and / button (again I know you know where these are located). They will normally have the word "shift" with an arrow pointing up printed on them and are much larger than most other keys.
To use these "shift" keys all you need to do is depress one shift key and hold it down and then type the letter that should be in upper case. After holding the shift key down and depressing a letter key release the letter key and the shift key and continue typing to resume using lower case letters. This way you will be able to form proper english sentences with upper and lower case letters and people will be able to read your posts with ease.
In case you have forgotten where capital letters go in english sentences, they are generally used in the first letter of a sentence or to denote a person or place. Here is an example sentence: "I went to the store with Andy."
Don't be daunted by the shift keys, after a while you will find that they are as easy to use as all the other keys you use all the time. Don't let trying something new scare you, it will only hold you back. So get out there and use those shift keys to capitalize the first letter of sentences and maybe even a few names! You can do it, I know you can!

Actually I love e e cummings and have all of his works in an e e cummings compilation book wich has several ribbons threw out marking my favorite poems.
I just do not enjoy reading essays written like that. It is harder to follow where a sentence is leading and when it ends when you spead read (as I do). So when Andy decides he wants to write poetry like that or just a short note, I will not complain. But his responces need capitalization once they reach a certain length or degree of 'essayism' for ease of reading.
