How could disabling auto-capitalization influence aesthetics?

  i’ll bite. it might sound dumb to you, but not capitalizing sentences properly amongst certain groups effectively means you’re not concerned with the optics of being viewed as someone who “doesn’t know grammar”. it sort’ve displays a certain “I know proper grammar but I don’t really care to prove it to you”. edit: and as others mention, it can be seen as less formal and friendly as well don’t shoot the messenger :)

    personally i just find this easier to read. capitalization breaks flow and parsing for me.

      also: mobile autocorrect is garbage on so many devices its better to just turn it off. no one has time to shift case on mobile manually.

        i turned it off on a whim, but this is the reason why i keep it off.

      > capitalization breaks flow and parsing for me. It can also break meaning though. Try de-capitalizing: * I helped my Uncle Jack off a horse.
