Aaargh, you just reminded me of a movie we watched in elementary school where this 13 year old girl had had sex with her boyfriend while on her period, and she came walking into the room crying, completely naked with her thighs covered in blood...rokkolpo said:Depends...do you want to be surprised by blood while doing it?
I just did exactly the same mistake in my very post! Oh, the irony! But it is an easy mistake as in American-English it's optional, so you will see a lot of people over the internet doing it.Jonluw said:Curses. It seems I have made a grammatical mistake. Sort of disappointing to hear, really. I think it looks so much neater with a capital letter.Hosker said:You don't use capital letters after colons.

Looking at this thread, I'm not entirely sure I want a girlfriend any more...
This is where I sit, to an extent (normally within a predictable range, with an occasional cycle freakout becuase apparently my ovaries think I need a little excitement that month.) I do keep my guy posted on the start dates- I also find it interesting that I'm apparently the only female (so far) who prefers doing that.WhiteandNeardy99 said:In my opinion no because if they are anything like my girlfriend it is hugely varying and impossible to predict, with her often being weeks out (has caused more than one scare).
And don't forget proper nouns and "I". They are exceptions also.Jonluw said:"...in American English a colon may be followed either by a capital letter or by a lower-case letter, depending on usage: where direct speech follows, a capital letter is used.."Hosker said:I just did exactly the same mistake in my very post!

It seems that is only the case when the colon is followed by direct speech.
No matter. I shall use lower case letters after colons from now on.
nah, don't worry. Not all women experience PMS.Redox Attraction said:...
