Being that the title of a thread, is well, a title, shouldn't it be properly capitalized?
The word 'tatoos' should be capitalized, but the word 'jobs' should not. A thread in a forum is like a chapter in a book. All words in the name of a book should be capitalized, whereas not all words in the name of a chapter in a book are capitalized.

I'll have to add that to my writer's handbook then. Thanks for the knowledge.
LOL, sure. That's the way I learned it, but check with somebody else before you take what I said. I have been known to be wrong about things before;)

i think that his title is totally acceptable (and probably the most common format).

basically everyone uses something different. but to take a thread way off topic because you thought it was steve jobs getting a tattoo is kinda silly.
That's not the point. The point is that people should use good grammar. Furthermore, since when has wikipedia become the place where all grammatical rules are validated?:confused:
Anyway, I dadmit that the thread has gotten a bit off topic. Get on with your business, everybody!:)

that was just the most easily comprehended site i found about it. if your point is that people should use good grammar, then prove that it's NOT good grammar. i don't see it as such.

but yes, back to business. tats and Jobs! ;)
