Why do you not use capital letters in the typical way?
- Takennickname 2y agoIt is a little bit painful to read. Capital letters exist for a reason (to make reading easier)
- keeganpoppen 2y agowhat exactly do capital letters make easier to read? i dont think readability is why they are used for proper nouns, names, nor the pronoun I. and obviously ALL CAPS isnt a readbility improvement either. presumably just as delineation of one sentence to the next? (forgive my ironic non-use of caps to start sentences haha).
- Takennickname 2y agoCorrect. The dileneation of one sentence to the next, which is somewhat an indicator of the end of one thought - or fragment of thought - and the beginning of the next.
- WuxiFingerHold 2y agoLook how nicely davetron5000's comment below can be read. Proper capitalization makes text much more readable.
- spencerchubb 2y agocapital letters are atypical in many internet circles, particularly younger. so maybe it's a habit from frequenting those circles or a deliberate branding choice
- kiwicopple 2y agoWell I'm not that young. I guess it just helps me to write fast when I'm not thinking about punctuation/grammar. I'll make more effort to capitalize.
