"Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a

This gave me a good chuckle. I'll be passing this along to my wife who is an author. She always liked to stress the appropriate use of commas as follows:
There's a big difference between calling out, "It's time to eat, Uncle Jack!" and "It's time to eat Uncle Jack!"

It does not tyrannize immediately, but it dampens, weakens, and ultimately suffocates, until the entire population is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid, uninspired animals, of which the government is shepherd." - Alexis de Tocqueville
