Overcapitalisation

You're right, feetle, pronounced "footsek".

Made me smile as I read through this..I made same error and thought it was going to be a another political debate!!
j08 surely it's 'ecksnt'

I think you're right, anno.

Grannyknot is thinking 'feetlebaum - voetsak!' right now...

My aunt had, on her birth certificate, "Place of birth: Behind the railway station, Johannesburg". My grandfather was an overseer, and they were building the station at the time!

j08 teehee.

Even I know what Babycham is ...

I can't find the original on Google, but my recollection is that the girl says, 'I'd love a Babycham', followed by the jingle I quoted. I don't think 'a' would fit into the tune.

I thought it was 'a' Babycham...(just to be pedantic)

I could be wrong....

"Everyone loves Babycham
The genuine champagne perry"

(1950s advertising on TV)

Pear cider is Perry isn' t it? I think so. It is very nice!

Grannyknot I will read your posts with the appropriate accent from now on.

@feetlebaum, well I am Serf Efrican and that's my excuse, and I only learnt English at school! Before that 'twas Afrikaans and Zulu. And - you know how love means nothing to a tennis player? I don't have a clue what 'perry' is...

@Grannyknot - feetlebaum is my user-name - I am not titled. Hmmm - Sir Feetlebaum of the Hovel - sounds rather good!

I did suspect that you might have had <h1>headings</h1> in mind, rather than titles - so, been at the scrumpy have we? Pear and Ginger? Strange - how does 'pear cider' differ from 'perry', I wonder?

Have a good kip tonight... sweet dreams...

I also have bee.n avoiding this thread as I thought it was going to be boringly political. Did n' t notice it was in "chat"!

Grannyknot

Can I have some. Sounds delicious.

feetlebaum so why are you not Feetlebaum [LOL emoticon].

GeraldineGransnet I realise I meant headings not titles, I get that titles need them <no sleep last night and been sipping cider all day (pear and ginger, really delicious)>

The only fascinating thing about economics is that it never seems to work... it's hardly a science, is it...

"^I'm told it is no longer the 'done thing' to use capital letters in titles - you are to treat them as a sentence. That dreaded hyphenated word: it's old-fashioned.^"

So it should be, say, "The marriage of Figaro", or "The old curiosity shop" or perhaps "Sweet bird of youth" - no way, Manuel... Hooray for 'old(hyphen)fashioned'!

Gk, I know less than nothing about economics, very much like most politicians.

So start one on economics!

Jane, you are not alone. When I saw the title of this thread I also thought it was about economics.

Sorry Jess only just seen your thread above double now!

Well at least you lot all knew what the thread was about.
I thought I was going to learn about some fascinating facet of economics that had so far eluded me

Oh JessM so did I now I'm disappointed.

JessM you're so right! But at work, when we were given the lecture training on the in-house Style Guide, they warned against Over Capitalisation.

Feetlebaum 'm told it is no longer the 'done thing' to use capital letters in titles - you are to treat them as a sentence. That dreaded hyphenated word: it's old-fashioned.

Bags I also thought that about the retired relationship. You're right, it doesn't matter, excepting that it now looks funny to me when I see all those capitals. It's the same as the case of missing hyphens etc, and other punctuation marks, if you see something written in one way often enough, that becomes the norm (well in my head it does anyway). No wonder I'm . Soon I won't know any more where apostrophes go!

I love hyphens and exclamation marks!

Thought this was going to be a thread about economics.
