I mentioned it to one of the posters as politely as I could but then got my arse kicked and accused of racisim. mmm go figure Any way thanks guys for now getting on top of this. It is a pain in the arse and can be very annoying.

You are racist because you spell "ass" as "arse"

Arse is the "correct" spelling used by all in the ex British Empire (RIP), other wise your talking about a horse type of animal. Apart from that, 60 is this centuaries 40.

then you also have the Opposite style rather like The great poet e. e. cummings who often wrote all in lower case, but unconventionally added in capitalization and punctuation to his poems.

"my girl's tall with hard long eyes
as she stands, with her long hard hands keeping
silence on her dress, good for sleeping
is her long hard body filled with surprise
like a white shocking wire, when she smiles
a hard long smile it sometimes makes
gaily go clean through me tickling aches,
and the weak noise of her eyes easily files
my impatience to an edge--my girl's tall
and taut, with thin legs just like a vine
that's spent all of its life on a garden-wall,
and is going to die.  When we grimly go to bed
with these legs she begins to heave and twine
about me, and to kiss my face and head."

"i like my body when it is with your
body.  It is so quite new a thing.
Muscles better and nerves more.
i like your body.  i like what it does,
i like its hows.  i like to feel the spine
of your body and its bones, and the trembling
-firm-smooth ness and which i will
again and again and again
kiss,  i like kissing this and that of you,
i like, slowly stroking the, shocking fuzz
of your electric fur, and what-is-it comes
over parting flesh . . . . And eyes big love-crumbs,

and possibly i like the thrill

of under me you so quite new"

Even in his earliest work the seeds of Cummings' unconventional style seem well established. At age six Cummings wrote to his father:

FATHER DEAR. BE, YOUR FATHER-GOOD AND GOOD,
HE IS GOOD NOW, IT IS NOT GOOD TO SEE IT RAIN,
FATHER DEAR IS, IT, DEAR, NO FATHER DEAR,
LOVE, YOU DEAR,
ESTLIN.




if you enjoy things like poetry, do yourself a favor and read some of the works of e. e. cummings.  His publishers would often also put his name in all lower case to go along with his unconventional use of capitalization, punctuation, grammar, etc, though he did not approve of this.
