Does "proper language" include capitalization and punctuation or just how the words are put together?

I have severe arthritis in my hands.....typing is difficult enough without having to use the capitalization key every time it is required. But thanks for pointing that out to me. Like I don't already know.

It might help your hands if you laid off the key for using a period. There is no reason for multiples and you either have to hold a key down for a longer time or keep tap tapping. It's also incorrect if that supposedly matters to you, an ellipsis is three dots ONLY, not a string of them.

Can any game end zero zero ? If it did would that be a score ?

Thanks for all your help. I will take all your suggestions into consideration. You have a great weekend.

It would be "scoreless" then.

A scoreless score. :-)

@hyacinth003 your post made me think of a pet peeve of mine. When someone takes a person's temperature to see if that person has a fever, and they say, "No, he/she doesn't have a temperature." Ugh. That drives me crazy. They don't have a fever, perhaps, but we always have a temperature!

@Citrine1, I have heard patients say they have blood pressure.
