| Can someone explain to me why there seems to be such a high

| written word? In this case, Sam can't be assed to bother with
| capital letters. For other people, it's abbreviations or some
| other unnecessary bit of laziness. I don't get it. In my
| experience the higher up you are in management the more you do
| this sort of thing.

| And going with this, they use their time wisely, not to add

| Why waste time use lot word when few word do trick?

| I think it's an affectation more than anything else. For an

| Next level: Bond villain.

| if you could read my comment then i've proven my point.

| the keys and hit send.
