I don't like it when people focus on grammar too much but "I am worry..."?

  I thought that somebody retyped the original and introduced the typos. But it looks like the typos were present in the original too: http://edge-op.org/iowa/www.iowaconsumercase.org/010807/PLEX_5803.pdf http://edge-op.org/iowa/www.iowaconsumercase.org/010807/PLEX...

  It’s a Silicon Valley pro-tip: spelling and grammatical mistakes are signs that you’re super busy or too rich to care. There’s a few famous VCs that are apparently too busy to ever capitalize a letter... Too busy to shift!

    Or maybe they write on an iphone. I had to turn auto capitalization off because it would capitalize emoticons after a full stop: turning xD into Xd

      How does it prevent one to put caps manually? I too have disabled mose auto-things on my smartphone yet I use caps. It is not a technical proble, it is about decency and respect.

    Example from the same site: https://www.techemails.com/p/sergey-brin-irate-call-from-steve-jobs https://www.techemails.com/p/sergey-brin-irate-call-from-ste... Personally, I'd struggle to not capitalize things. It's just automatic. I do believe there was a bit of a fashion to not capitalize things for a while too; I remember some people doing it on the interwebz.

    Missed opportunity: Those VCs are “too busy to capitalize”!

  Also "I certainly havent' come up" I assume he was using some Microsoft spellchecker.
