Should the "sincerely" in "Yours sincerely" be capitalised or not?

Cheers.

lower case mate.

fanks, innit.

nfw dude

It may have sounded a bit of an anal question, but I have just applied for a job as an SEO content writer and it'd be a bit silly to miss out cos' of a lack of attention to detail.

I had to send them a 100-150 review on a service or product of my choice. It is surprisingly difficult to write something meaningful in so few words, I did it in 150 words exactly.

In that sort of job attention to detail is everything, make sure you didn't under count and write 151 words...now that would be bad! :D

I was recently introduced to this simple site http://d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y.com/.

At almost 35 I could be considered to be half way through my life, yet half my life I was spelling it "definately".

I also still need to remind myself that "I before E, except after C". Am I the only one?

I DEFINATELY agree!

"Necessary" is the one that always gets me.

I will see your "necessary", and raise you "necessarily".

it's 'i' before 'e' except after 'c' unless 'i' am in 'their'

Helps if you remember that the word is a derivative of 'finite'.  Learning foreign languages (and particularly Latin) can really help in cases like these.

One collar, two socks.

Oooh, never heard that one. Must remember.

SEO is boring!! Fair play

Thank fuck that wasn't just me. Up until a couple of years ago I was convinced every spell checker I'd used was broken, no matter which way I tried spelling that word it always rejected it, until my bird told me how to spell it properly.

or 'science' and numerous derivatives thereof

Too obtuse Sussex.

C before S in the alphabet and 1 before 2.

'I before E except after C' has always made me think of one word - ceiling. As in words that start with a C. I can't think of any others..?

I would also just like to have another rant about the use of 'of'.

As in 'I could of'. ARRRRGHHHHH. It is 'I could have'.

That's better now, I can go to bed happy.

It's just something my old English teacher taught me, and it's stuck for over 20 years.

Your's rolls off the tongue like a ball bag on barbed wire :-)

Bollocks, i've always spelt it DEFINATELY, it always looked right to me!

Same here, I learnt that at primary school and it's stuck

I learnt how to spell it correctly off of a CD case....

Was it this?
