So a lack of captials deserves a downvote ?

Be that as it may be, what is a captial ? I understand the need for proper grammar and orthography in our dear garden, but there's something intriguing going on there :-)

Agreed. First it's just missing captials, then next thing you know weird spaces appear around question marks.

In France, we have different spacing conventions, we put spaces before !, ? and ;

(Still, when writing in english, we should use the english convention. Otherwise the German will start capitalizing nouns, and God knows what the American will do)

Don't you find it more aesthetically appealing that way ? Also, I'm French :-)

For reference, the joking exchange was in reference to 'captials', not 'capitals'.
