    i am sorry to be both pedantic and to seem to try and control you.

    "what is cc3?" conveys the same information in three words instead of the four of "cc3 what is it?"

    it also sounds less like some newscaster on the television trying to hype something to catch your attention.

    it's obviously my problem, not yours.. it's also a relatively new thing. two or three years ago, people used conventional sentence structure instead of placing the subject first and using an article to refer to it in its place. now, most of the forums i see are full of topics titled thusly, and it makes me wonder... trends... who joins them? sentences... who can read a whole one?

    honk if you like capital letters :p



    really i hope that if enough people post and protest this movement, we can save many gigabytes of forum storage space from shortened text strings.

    Do you also wonder why you didn't phrase that as, "most of the forums I see are full of topics titled that way..." rather than using the word, "thusly" which you likely would not do in normal conversation?

    Oh, and the forum storage space is not likely to be threatened by a few extra characters, words, or even paragraphs and pages upon pages of text. If it is then the site has issues greater than just its users verbosity.
