Well, actually...

I agree with what Brian said and I'm also sticking up for Kevin for the reasons he gave; and here's yet another reason why:

I joined the U3A (University of the Third Age) when I retired ten years ago; now I, and countless others, are outraged that they've seen fit to do some ''rebranding'' - which includes changing the logo to u3a. The plural of it is rubbish: u3as versus the former, clearer use of U3As.

The rebranding has cost £16K of members' money (OK, not a fortune in the great scheme of things) but why change a perfectly good logo (and we all have many products sporting it, which are now out of date) in the middle of a pandemic? Is that going to attract new members to the organisation? I think not.

Back to the here and now... I, too, find lower case titles irritating, because I just can't see any justification for them, but it's up to each of us to post however we see fit. I also don't like the use of ampersands instead of the word 'and', or 'w/' for the word 'with' ... after all, typing those two extra characters is such a chore, isn't it?

(Is someone now going to post a comment with ''& and w/'' to deliberately try to annoy me, I wonder?) I'm getting cynical in my old age.
