When I started my blog I set one sort of ground rule: that I don't capitalize. So why have I started, asked Max.*
That's a good question, Max - I think it's a little more aesthetically pleasing to read something that's properly punctuated.
I suppose a blog is a tad more formal than an email so I've started capitalizing.
I still don't capitalize person emails, though - but I generally do in work e-mail.
*For all you grammarians, should there be a question mark in this sentence? If so where? I mean, it's a question but the ...", asked max" no longer makes it a questions, I'm just quoting Max. I think that's right.
