I always do that. Don't think it makes a difference? Ever since iPhones and iPads I let the autocorrect do it. When I want to order something on my computer pressin shift is a bitch!

Yes that is annoying! Ian (middle name Duncan) Smith's staff never put which office they wanted deliveries sent to and were always amazed when one phoned to check. Tosspot!

I think it's a gripe about a lack of redundant capitalisation.

Even worse is people who supply their old address & then complain they never received their stuff!

Lack of capitalisation bugs the life out of me, even on text messages.

Yep, why is it so impossible to use capital letters and punctuation on a mobile device!? People that actually have real jobs as well.

Can you understand the address? Yes : Treat it as if addressed in crayon and BLOCK CAPS, but deliver anyway No : Contact addresser Then move on to more important things in life. Such as: What is for tea? Why does my heated seat make my bum itch? etc.

Since house/flat number and postcode is all you need for a unique address what does it matter? Personally think that " 1, AB1 2CD " should be the format of address that we use these days.

Would maybe work in cities but small towns and villages quite often have names rather than numbers.

Okay, number/name and postcode then...

Tim, do you even have to type/write out the address? Surely it's just a case of pressing print and job done?

That has no redundancy and therefore too much scope for delivering your post to the same numbered house a few streets away.

Yes, but only because this lazy assed shizzle makes my OCD flicker like a badly pirated movie. I *could* connect our Amazon Merchant account to our accounting, order processing and courier systems. But, it would mean invoices and shipping labels getting printed out with that badly formatted style. Our web site is connected to a PAF database so the plebians are not required to type their own address, only postcode (which gets automatically formatted properly) and selecting house name/number from a list. It would drive me nuts, operating in a space where a bob-on first impression is worth a lot of repeat business. I fully understand this is largely my "problem". But it still irks me that people are so jeffing lazy.
