I refuse to give "everything in lowercase" writers any kind of legitimation.

  Did you not inspect element?

  About 5 years ago, I started intentionally using all lower case in text messaging, for precisely this reason.

    CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL

      Even with cruise control, you still have to steer.

    I'm not sure if that commenter realized based on their phrasing, but it's not exactly tangential in this instance since it's part of the message being conveyed.

      Yeah, that was my intention at least. I didn't mean it just because the article is styled in all-lowercase but because he essentially argued that this is what everyone has to do now to distinguish themselves from LLMs. (even if it was tongue in cheek, what I was trying for my comment as well)

        Hmm I'm not sure I follow this distinction but since there are two of you saying this, I'm going to assume I'm missing something and retract my reply :)

  it's actively part of the text that the capitalization is not manually written, but hidden with the CSS `text-transform: lowercase`. kneejerk reaction superiority complex
