Does a new sentance begin with a full stop?
Does a sentance begin with a capital letter?
Is social services written "social services" or "Social Service's"
Does it matter sooooooooooo much?

It matters to those of us who attended schools where all this was important, have or had parents to whom it was important and have jobs where it is important. If you can get through life without any of those applying to you, then you may well conclude that it is all somewhat irrelevant and who can blame you? I think that by anybody's standards it is better to be a good and caring person than one with impeccable spelling and grammar. And having seen your original question, I think that you are worth twenty of those people who are so arrogant and superior about their command of language and who seek to put you in your place. I'd rather have a good hearted neighbour any day than one with impeccable English!

No. But it is more important than the welfare of OTHERS. Of COURSE a sentence doesn't begin with a full stop! It does however follow a full stop. Yes, a new sentence ALWAYS begins with a capital letter. It's Social Services because they are Services plural... not things owned by the Service. Yes it does matter... and there is only one 'o' in so :-p

A new sentence starts with a capital letter and ends with a full stop. Social services is spelt without an apostrophe I think you should spend more time studying English grammar

If you want to be understood. If you are writing important things down , that will affect others lives, try your best to be clear and concise ,using correct grammar and punctuation will help.
At least look up the answer to your " Social Services" question and then store the correct answer on your computer for next time.
All the best

Unfortunately, many people have a tendency or need to feel superior to others. Using punctuation and grammar incorrectly used to be one of my pet peeves. Since I have been on the internet I have learned to adjust to many people's inability to use them properly. The only time it really bothers me now is when I see it in print, in the newspaper or on television. There is no excuse for it in those mediums.
Unless the sentence is illegible or nonsensical due to an inability to write correctly, I generally disregard the grammar and punctuation if the question is an important one to someone's life and circumstances and I feel I may be of some help to them.
No, unless it is imperative that concise and clear communication be used, it is not so important that we should overlook the person and their need for answers and understanding.

Different settings have different standards and that's where it becomes complicated. Also what is acceptable changes over time. When I was at school you had to write U.S.A. and a.m. Then I did a proof-reading course and this was seen as superfluous, USA and am being the preferred options. The issue as to what constitutes correct grammar is interesting, but to judge people in terms of their choice of grammar is somewhat shallow. Still, I was shocked at hearing Prince Harry break strict grammatical conventions in one particular interview. Then again, if the third in line to the throne can flout the conventions of the Queen's English, why worry?

Corekt Gramer and Spelink our veery impotent if understandationalistic activity is meaningfully to be inducted to the inquisitioner..:
As regards Social services the prefix, suffix or intermediate word bloody, or Bastard or F****g is usually appeneded which makes the precise spelling of the term of academic interest only.

Writing is an artform as well as a means of communication. Well written things often have more impact on the reader. Sometimes great writers break the rules intensionally too.

right this is a thought .... colleges at the instant dont have investment for supplies that they like,books they like and so on. in case you like your baby to do nicely deliver her to a wealthy college in a wealthy section the place each and every of the SNOB youngsters and oldsters stay and attend college. in case you have been to sue you does not win. in the event that they don't have the money that's no longer the lecturers fault. Its AMERICAS fault. you may no longer blame the college or the lecturers while this economic equipment sucks.

It's not! But in an enterprizing world, education and the ability to communicate correctly goes a long way. All to do with priorities
