Apparently, there are enough stupid people in the world that are willing to see a movie starring Spiderman's biggest antagonist and not starring Spiderman with a plot that completely fucks up the actual story of said antagonist that it can make some good money. Jesus, is there anyone in the world with any taste left?

Yeah its more work even if just a little. In a unprofessional setting you'd expect seeing the easy/lazy ways far more often. Hell a long time ago I got called out for trying to look smart on Myspace because and I quote "type professionally" when all I was doing was actually spelling out words instead of shit like ur, u, 2(for to,too) etc etc.

What I'm glad to not see anymore though is people typing like HeY DoOdS WhAT iS Up WiTh EvErYoNE?!

Yeah that was a pain just to type that. Can't imagine people doing that on old cells back when it was used. Then again I guess most of used actual computers back then as internet on phones was subpar at best

My generation was pretty obnoxious in our teens but we are grown now so that's probably why it died down.

I didn't realize people were so bad until my current job at a hotel front desk. The various kinds of things I've seen people mess up/not understand is kind of jarring.

The worst one has to be the guy who checked in then called back down cussing at me. He was angry that his room didn't have a closet. I told him that it did have one, but he wouldn't listen. He eventually hung up on me after saying he'd talk to my manager the next day and file a complaint. Well the next day comes along and he shows up for breakfast. He finds me and is laughing, said I wouldn't believe what happened. Turns out he saw the closet, but didn't open it. He just assumed it wasn't one and got angry. After he hung up on me he checked it... Yeah dude, I told you every room has a closet. At least he had the decency to apologize though, but jeez.

Pretty much everyone I know who's seen Venom enjoyed it. Maybe it's actually a good movie, and your obsessive purism is keeping you from giving it a legitimate chance?

The problem with that statement is that "average person" isn't a statistical measure, it's an anecdotal observation. "Everyday person" would be more accurate, and even then, your perception of "everyday person" is going to be heavily skewed by the standard suite of perceptual biases (most notably, you notice remarkably stupid people more often than unremarkable ones and therefore give them more weight in your overall perception). You can't really apply statistical concepts to a non-statistical measure.

It really doesn't. Mainly because most people don't actually understand what "title" means.

If your topic title is a literal title, sure, feel free to capitalize every word. But if your topic title is expressed as a straight out sentence (which like 97% of topics on this board are), then it's not a traditional "title" and shouldn't be capitalized (except for the first word).

It would apply since it would be the title of the thread.

1) Those are descriptions, not sentences.

2) Those sorts of titles are actually much more common in Asian languages, where capitalization doesn't exist. Translations across into English can thus come across as far more awkward than originally, and there's always some degree of dispute whether or not a given translation is "correct". But unless you're going to tell me that OP/TC is an Asian who speaks English as a secondary language and wrote his entire post in Chinese or Japanese before translating it over, that argument would not apply in this case.

Overlooking that taste and intelligence aren't the same thing, this topic wrongly assumes that viewers give a crap about comic history. Given that it's a blockbuster, there's a reasonable chance that many viewers didn't know anything about Venom going into the movie (*despite* Spidey 3 being a thing)

It's a topic, not the title of a book, story, or film. Prevailing etiquette favors not capitalizing every word. After all, even most online news posts don't do that; that trend even carries into newspapers at times, where online-only stories can lack all-caps
