Once in class, I asked my students to do a bit of writing. I went around to see their work. Some of them asked me a lot of questions. Some preferred to discuss with their friends.
One of the students wrote all his sentences in small letters. I guess it's the habit you cultivate from years of texting messages and typing emails to others instead of writing letters the old-fashioned way (now known as snail mail). So I reminded him about this grammar point.
"We have to use a capital letter to start a sentence."
He turned to his friend.
"Capital letter tu apa wei?"
His friend's reply: "Kalau kau nak mula ayat tu kena la guna Caps Lock."
"Owhh. Okay okay."
