Capital letters

Quote:Hi,
The grammar Nazi in me woke up and said you need some commas. As in "I helped my uncle, Jack, off the horse." Then the capitalization doesn't matter to the meaning.

BTW, if you say it aloud and pay attention, you can hear the pauses.

Ah but if the argument is that capital letters don't convey any additional information then you just showed that 1 capital letter carries the same information as 2 commas, at least in that sentence.

I might buy that they only convey redundant information, but they do convey additional information.

It's all just zeroes and ones and duct tape in the end.
