Default Capitalization is very important....

It can make the difference between:

Helping your uncle Jack off a horse

and

Helping your uncle jack off a horse


that is all for today

Capitalisation is nearly as important as proper English

I believe the geek expression would be "pwned", though if I was going to go to semantics I'd point out how it was the British that migrated away from the use of "z" and switched to using "s" for very little reason. The US remained true to the original standard practice relating to use of "z". If I was being really annoying I'd also point out that the Oxbridge examination boards have deliberately maintained their use of the letter "z" in their documentation, a kind of lexicographical rebellion if you would

Punctuation is just as important, try a comma before and after "Jack" and you will find much the same effect.

I agree with dymetrie though. (shh, don't tell anyone as it might be bad for his reputation ).
