You didn't do what Dango said, and I happen to agree with him.

I don't think capital letters matter too much for usernames. Each to their own.

I don't find it very bad, when people write Mostwanted. But I think "mostwanted" is better. Like "acarr". Inj my opinion it looks better like "Acarr"

Personally I think mostwanted looks better than Mostwanted. I can't decide between acarr and Acarr though.

I prefer capitals at teh start of names, and after all, they are proper nouns aren't they?

Holy Crap is my name on this forum, a name is a proper noun. Therfore, Holy Crap is a proper noun and should be written starting with capitals. Xenon isn't usually a proper noun, but used as a name it is.

Oh, you mean as a name. And by the way, Xenon is a noun as it is a noble gas.

Yes, it's a noun. But it's an object, it's not a proper noun ie the name of a person or place.

Xenon is an abstract noun, but still a noun!

I didn't say it wasn't a noun. And it's not an abstract noun, it's a common noun. Abstract nouns are feelings and ideas, etc.

Okay, but it's still intangible.

Well, you're right.

Acarr, why don't you just write your name with a capital A? Believe me, it would look much better.

And I think you should remove the 'El'.
