Capitalization

[aam1234]

Hi,

Some people have the first letter in their name un-cap'ed, and I sometimes feel it's not nice to address a person with small caps.

So people w/ small cap'ed first letter, what do you think.

[tommykjensen]

Well as longs as those that address me either write "tommykjensen" as the nick name says or "Tommy" as my signature says I'm ok with that. I would on the other hand find offense if someone spelled either name in all capital letters :wink:

[aam1234]

Thanks for the feedback Tommy. See, your avatar is the kind I was refering to. Always had a problem addressing you.

Btw, didn't notice you had your name in the sig. area. If there was one (for others), things will be more comfortable.

[tommykjensen]

Obviously I could have typed my nick name as "Tommykjensen" when I registered but first off I think it looks kind of stupid, second I prefer lowercase letters in all logins.

What do You mean? If You goto the profile You can enter a signature.

[Scottes]

I think he means that many people here don't have sigs.

Kinda on-topic, I've gotten called "Ninja" many times, which I find quite funny.

[aam1234]

I meant that I didn't see your name (Tommy) in the sig. area before. It's my fault really.

[aam1234]

Ditto to what Scottes said.

[tommykjensen]

10-4.

[aam1234]

10-4.


What is that? some kind of a secret code :?

:lol:

I thought everybody knew that term from all the cops and robbers tv series and movies where 10-4 means "got it" or "understood".

He's obviously too young to have been a CBer, Good Buddy

[aam1234]

He's obviously too young

Ha ha, how I wish you are right Jon (not too old though).

[aam1234]

a CBer

Got it! but shoot, I feel too old now!

I hate you Jon :lol:

[Jon]

You want I should suggest a reason why you couldn't remember that part of your dark, mysterious past?

The phrase "10-4" came in a whole list of Motorola 10 Codes. This code card was stuck on the side of every two-way radio used by police, fire, and other government users. When FM radio was new, it was still difficult to understand what the other guy was saying sometimes. The 10 Codes were developed so that something easily heard could have an understandable code meaning.

I think Ken Jennings and Google are the same machine.

[JAZZ D.P.G.]

Getting back on topic :P

The capitalization of my handle (speaking of CB slang) comes fro mthe registration of my business.

JAZZ Digital Photo Graphic. The AZZ (yeah, I can hear the comments :lol: ) are supposed to be in a different font, but I could not figure how to do this when I registered.

As to the salutation, how it is written is how I go. If the sign on is lower case, the greeting will match. Everyone has their own way of expressing themselves, and I'll honour each as they list it.

(Being called Ninja can't be all that bad!)

Call me JAZZ, call me Jazz or call me Jim. Just don't call me late when the good stories are flowing :lol:

There is somebody who has used a Motorola 2-way radio.

10-20 Location
10-36 Correct time

I remembered 10-20, but couldn't remember what the one for the time was. I used to use that sometimes back in the 70's.

"Breaker one-nine, this here's the Rubber Duck looking for Pig Pen. You got your ears on good buddy?"

Back to the subject at hand, though, I really don't mind what anyone calls me or how they capitalize it.
