In this thread, we moan about people's inability to correctly punctuate thread titles.

Where does everyone stand on the Oxford comma?

I don't like using it but it's my sentences look sloppy without it.

 

[Degs62]

Pretty sure the comma in the title is superfluous.

Separates the subordinate clause from the main clause.

Nothing to do with being superior. I just think if you're complaining about standards in English (which another thread was), you should set the example. Doesn't bother me if your grammar is poor, but don't go complaining about poor grammar in others.

Possibly? It's not a proper noun, so doesn't need a capital for that reason but it is common for some words in titles to have capitals, depending on the media. For consistency, I would also have had to use capitals for most of the other words in that case.

bacK in the day I was taught that a proper noun was... a person, place or thing
So Thread being a thing ( well a number of different things ) is a proper noun so is capitalised.

no idea what an improper noun is though.

Also word like to-day and to-morrow where hyphenated, well in English they were, what happened there...where's Lynn Truss when you need her

me too up to a point, but not to excess, same with spelling
e.g. It's ok if I do it but not you... don't do as I do do as I say.

That's fine mate; I'm sure you won't be partaking in the thread moaning about the way people speak either.

Hyphens seem to be slowly disappearing from written English. I'm not sure why that is.

Nouns are still taught as, 'a person, a place or a thing.' Proper nouns are always capitalised, they are the names of specific, individual nouns. For example, dog is a noun but Rover is the dog's name and needs a capital.
