5punk

Arkadaslar,

ben yeni bir uyeyim burada. Insallah beni araniza kabul edersiniz. Icinizde bana tavsiye edebileceginiz bir forum barindirma url verebilecek varmi? En onemlisi turkce desteginin olmasi tabiiki, cunku ingilizcem yok denecek kadar az. Birde uzun zaman piyasada olsunki gelecegi saglam olsun. Ingilizce hosting veren birkac yerden denedim ama yarisi beni anlamiyor, digerlerinide ben anlamiyorum, ayrica birkac taneside kisa bir sure sonra piyasadan cekildiler.

Bana onerebileceginiz hangi adresler var? Birkac ozelliginide sayarmisiniz ltf?

Yes, yes it is.

Indeed old chap, I did find those penis enhancing pills and ejactulate volume improvers to be very helpful.

When ground down and mixed with water, they produce a nice paste, which is just brilliant to use as war paint when re-enacting scenes from Zulu.

Hooray for not doing anything

you did stuff?

I agree, shallow and pedantic!

I'm sure that message would have made a lot more sense if I understood Turkish.

I can speak turkish: GOBBLE GOBBLE!

Maybe, but you don't understand it, do you?

but I do! GOBBLE GOBBLE! means "I totally had sex with someone's mom, in the car."

May contain traces of 5punk you say? s'ok by me

I doubt it. This looks like it might be grammatically correct, only in Turkish and excluding that first non-capitalised 'b'.

Actually, the first non capitalised B is a continuation of the first line, which ends in a comma. It just has a few carriage returns in it, as is normal in the beginning of a letter.

That's something I've wondered about. When writing a letter, people usually say:

Dear Sir,

When I was blah blah blah

So the salutation ends in a comma, but the next line starts as a new sentence with a capital letter. That is how I was reading the Turk's post.

Don't know what's official, but as far as I'm aware a carriage return isn't any form of punctuation and so should probably be ignored. I suspect it stems from the fact that people are confusing the strart of a new line with the start of a new sentence.

I think we need eion's advice on this one, as I have no idea! I've always started letters as above, and Word auto-corrects to a capital after the salutation if you go to a new line, but then I wouldn't put too much stock in that.

One r in start.

The start of the line below the addressee greeting should be capitalised. The comma in this case has a slightly different meaning than used in a proper sentence.

That was certainly my instinct, despite it being an apparent exception to the rule. Nice to have it confirmed by the ever-reliable Internet though.
