    wit data? In that case yes, it needs to be a full sentence, properly capitalized and punctuated.

    I did not notice the location of the "Strongly Agree" and "Strongly Disagree" statements on this goddamn survey. Goodbye 4 dollars.

    Google to the rescue

    While we use both grammar and punctuation to clearly explicate our ideas for our readers, they are not the same. Punctuation marks are the symbols we use to clarify meaning, question marks, exclamation points, periods, etc. Grammar is the structure of language. You can think of it as word order and choice.

    Grammar is purely about sentence formation. Punctuation is part of the mechanics while capitalisation is based on spelling.

    Capitalization and punctuation (and spelling, paragraphing, and indentation, among many other things), are not part of language at all. Certainly they're not part of grammar.

    Instead, they're part of Writing -- literacy, reading, printing, wordprocessing, txting -- all of which is technological, not natural.

    Language (including grammar, which is formation and arrangement of words into constituents)
    evolved as spoken language, for a million years or so. Humans co-evolved with spoken languages, and every normal human learns at least one spoken language long before their formal literacy training (i.e, school) starts. If it ever starts -- most humans are, and always have been, illiterate.

    I read through most of what was said. I just checked the HIT search on Worker and it seems the quals aren't buggy anymore, so that's good. I still don't consider it good until there's AA functionality and a database to look through and keep track of quals, especially since they're so iffy about sending emails.

    Do you have a link or anything? I'm still going to contact them about it and make my petition for it to be implemented.
