I hereby announce that I, for one, will stop reading any article I see
that is blatantly ignorant of English.  This includes:  articles that
are all lower-case; pre-nroff crud; 167-character lines and 45-line
sentences; etc.

Note the word "blatantly".  English is a complex set of rules often
better bent (or broken) for effect.  No-one is perfect -- especially
not me.  Some mispelling I can tolerate.  But I've seen junk lately
that not even your mothers would be proud of!

Not afraid to scream into the void,
