My impression of people who write like that is that they're 9 years old and somehow made it on the big-boy Internet. Mostly because the content of messages written in that fashion gives that impression as well. It's sloppier than the average youtube comment.
- wildrhythms 4y agoHow old are the people you communicate with regularly? I work with plenty of late 20 and 30-something professionals and they all intrinsically understand this phenomenon. I also work in tech, with tech savvy individuals, so maybe that has something to do with it.
- hollowcelery 4y agoWhat a bizarre take. Who do you work with? The majority of people I’ve worked with of all ages at various companies default to all-lowercase in casual communication, including some of the most intelligent and expressive people. As the other commenter said, it’s perceived as friendlier and more casual. Messages with capitalisation and completely correct grammar in these settings comes off as stilted and corporate.

- BeFlatXIII 4y agoPerceived as friendly and casual by idiots.
- marginalia_nu 4y agoThat's needlessly aggressive. :-/
- maximus-decimus 4y agoIt just sounds that way because they used a full stop. /s
- nchie 4y agoI'm really surprised at how defensive some people in this thread are getting regarding this.
