Who is smarter...

Sign in to disble this ad
Who do you believe is smarter; those that use capital letters in their username, or those who stick to lowercase for identification?

I'm sure that both sides have convincing arguments, with the "capitals" possibly claiming that the others are too stupid to know how to make big letters, while the "anti-capitals" might claim that they are too intelligent to waste their time capitalizing something so insignificant. Well, since this is the internet, we know that there can be only one acceptable answer, and that all of the intelligent people will be in perfect agreement, so I'm looking forward to results.

(I think I already know the answer, but I'll hold my tongue until the poll is finished.)



If unsure, be sure to compare yourself to others who have the same preferences regarding that controversial shift key.

I said lower case just cause mine is, but I think proper grammar kind of wins no matter what. If you're handle is in fact your real life name it probably should be capitalized.

I vote for capitalised. Although sometimes I might write a name without capitals purely for aesthetic reasons.

Hey, if you don't like mike_v_s, that's fine, but calling for censorship is just plain wrong!

I voted for underscores. I also voted for Bass Junkie to lose a limb in a tree grinding accident.
