Subject:verb forms related to Twitter ? From:"Monique Semp" <monique -dot- semp -at- earthlink -dot- net> To:"TechWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Tue, 13 Sep 2011 16:01:59 -0700
Hello, TechWR-L-ers,
Iâm editing a doc where someone capitalized âTweetedâ. Iâd say that the verb form would be âto tweetâ, lower case, and the logical past tense would be âtweetedâ. I canât see any reason to capitalize the verb form â thoughts?
And setting aside the inherent auditory silliness of this particular question, are there any âstandardsâ or âreferencesâ that provide usage guidelines for new technologies/words of this sort?
