nettiquitte, part 1: italics/underline

[modpixie]

my abhorrence for cutesy spellings, ALL CAPS unicase, and other nonsense has been well-established. it's kind of the itch that you can't scratch of my online existence -- not something that keeps me up nights, but irritating in a small way. rather than bitch about it, i should be part of the solution

I try to italicize and quotation-mark titles in accordance with the Chicago Manual of Style as much as possible.

And every now and then I will SHOUT rather than emphasize, mainly because I'm, uh...lazy.

BUT I MEAN WELL!!

Oh, and would it kill you to capitalize the first letter of a sentence every once in awhile?

Yeah, that's right. You know what I'm talkin' about.

Re: bad habit

[darling_effect]

OK, I know what you mean about the 'fandom' icons. But this one I had to have. 'Cause... MST3K!!! C'mon, you understand, right?
No?
Alrighty then.
