    Default Grammar is important

    Capitalisation is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse.

    SWMBO just informed me that she used this in one of her post-grad uni classes (English teaching) last week. She wrote it up on the whiteboard and got only 3 laughs, 11 "we are not amused"s and 1 "aren't you just about to become a mother!!?!?"

    And that's why I love her
