Why do so many people fail to use the shift key when posting a message?
It seems to me that if they want their message read, they would want to make it easy to read. Ignoring the accepted conventions of capitalization (THIS ALSO ENCLUDES ALL CAPS) just does not seem to make sense. Are people really that lazy.

Yes. And they are too lazy to use spell-check to catch, say "encludes" when the word is "includes."

Shift Key ! Mine does nothing, what should it do.
I sometimes just wish that people would go back and "try" to read what they have typed. Some postings are so poorly typed that they are very difficult to read. I usually just skip those.

Thank you, Wayne. A quick proofreading makes sense. Tom Work at your leisure!

Public schools. The average-child fallacy: all must succeed, everyone's a winner, anybody can learn algebra, there's no such thang as IQ, ...
Another gets his gratification in 'other ways', has only one hand available, and the one he can use has a cramp in the muscles to his thumb.
The modern generation of children has grown up without the father in the home, due to welfare policies which pay more for single parents.
Failing to get any recognition from their fathers, people look for more and more outrageous ways to attract attention. Including by violating the time honored standards that real men live by. Like wearing their pants in such a way to conceal their underwear. And using capitalization.
It is a demonstration of personal inadequacy, to fail consistently in using time honored communication standards.
"Encludes"? What's that? Perhaps "includes"?
I've also seen people who fail to use a space key when ending a sentence. Here is an example:
"I'm new here but not new to the wonderful world of survival.I've been studying the whole survival idea for several years now.My particular preparations are probably a lot different from must of you guys's plans.Firstly I never have to worry about snow or any kind of cold weather problems.Actually,we pray for cooler weather,at least for the few cool months between summer and the arrival of tourist season."
Isn't that hard to read?
It might be the wrong answer, but we can't damage your self esteem by giving you a failing grade. You can go on to 3rd grade, you're only 27 years old, now.
I skip multi level forwards, and ones with four sets of headers on top. If people can't trim, I won't bother to read.

Ok, I'll pass on typos (email/news is speech, not compositions with multiple drafts), but...
Why do so many people fail to use good subjects?
This becomes kind of pertinent:
eric is a smart man.

Possible answers: laziness, lack of understanding of basic grammar.

"Encludes" misspelled; final sentence is a question and therefore should have concluded with a question mark. (Ever have the feeling some days you just cannot win?!)
The "ALL CAPS" question can sometimes be answered because people do not know how to type and therefore take an easy way out, namely leave the keyboard in upper case mode. Another possible reason is the poster is missing a limb (or has it in a cast) and two-handed typing is impossible. Typing in all capitals is much faster.
Unfortunately I believe as new people get on the Internet we will encounter this and numerous other common errors repeatedly. I think it is best to politely correct them, as opposed to belittling them.
