The only letter capitalized is "I"... Telling
- jolmg 6d agoNo, they also capitalize abbreviations like COVID and PIP. I remember having a phase as a teen where I didn't capitalize the first letter of sentences because it just seemed redundant. Periods are there; why need another signal that another sentence has started? It was like a redundancy = bad phase.
- spider-mario 6d agoSomehow, that reminds me: when I was younger and started learning programming, I had a phase where I seemed to hate most optional whitespace that wasn’t indentation. So each line would be indented to the proper level, but the rest of the line would look like this: SDL_BlitSurface((player1?smallcross:smallcircle),NULL,screen,&curpos);

Just as we have coding standards, we have grammar and punctuation rules so that people can effectively communicate with each other. Anyone who refuses to follow coding standards or punctuation rules is just an asshole. Obviously we relax them based on context - a comment here or text message are different from a blog post which is different from an academic paper. But surely publishing articles/essays on your blog, which you preusmably hope people will read, requires at least some minimal respect for language rules. Evidently this person doesn't feel that way, so they have to accept (whether they do it consciously or not) that some people are just going to lint themselves away from reading it. Not worth the hassle.
