Minor feedback that you're welcome to ignore: I found reading your comment a little bit slower & more annoying because of your lack of upper case letters for sentence starts. It's an interesting comment so I still read to the end, and upvoted, but I was close to not bothering to keep going half way through purely because of it all being lower case. I'd suggest changing your habit and starting sentences with upper case letters, not just because it's "normal" but because it's normal for a reason, that reason being that people find it easier to read.
- em-bee 3y agoI appreciate the feedback. This is a habit that I acquired decades ago, on the basis that it doesn't make sense to write words differently just because of their position or their meaning when there is no such difference in the spoken language (but there are pauses between sentences instead, which I didn't consider then). It is actually through reading HN that I started to consider readability of longer paragraphs. I am considering the situation. Don't know where I will end up. I edited the comment, but now I am stuck between leaving the commented with capitalization to improve readability and reverting the edit in order for your response to make sense and to allow others to judge for themselves. (I'll go with keeping the edits. Anyone curious about the readability can go look for older comments of mine)
