    Has done this

    You can actually do this. Just type the goal in to the “Add this goal” (on your user page) or the “What do you want to do with your life?” field (on the 43T front page) with whatever capitalization you would like. It will add it to your goal page with whatever capitalization you type in but still associate you with the same goal (e.g. type in “get a tattoo” and that is how it will show up on your goals list, but will still link to the “Get a tattoo” goal.)



    Should do this 2 cheers

    So I really want to get a tattoo. I’d love to add “get a tattoo” to my list. I haven’t added it because it doesn’t exist and I can’t create it. On 43things, this goal is “Get a tattoo” and I can’t change this. I don’t know if this is possible, but I really wish 43things would make a way for users to change the way things are capitalized in their own personal goal lists, and maybe be able to remove periods at the ends of goals.

    I don’t know why I can’t force myself to just add goals that are capitalized at the beginning, but I really can’t. I have so many things I want to do that I haven’t added to my list because of capitalization. I just have to have them all match. I also won’t add things that have lowercase proper nouns in them. Bothers me…
