You know something? When reading braille, I notice things about people's writing styles that I never would notice with JAWS and I'm not trying to be an asshole, but I've notice the lack of capitalization in writing these days. Is that just not a thing in modern English education? #Writing

@NicksWorld

its internet culture.. I am not exactly sure why we do it. I see younger online ppl do it more.. queer people.. its some kind of cultural signifier I think.

I remember when I started my last job the team all sent me emails welcoming me and the other trans girl on the team sent me theirs with no caps.. and idk it just made me feel like it was a place I could fit in.

its absolutely not an educational thing. the kind of ppl I see doing it often are some of the smartest people I know.

@gnomekat I see. I can understand that though I still see it as improper, but that's me. If its just an internet culture thing, its alright. IDK, as an immigrant and later in life, I was always taught to speak and write properly and its never left me, so I never did anything differently.

@NicksWorld learn the rules well so you can know when to break them :)

writing proper is good for conveying information.. but going beyond that is when it becomes art

its like when people criticize afro-english as improper as if black Americans cant speak like white people. when in reality they can and do every day to survive but they choose not to when they don't have to

@gnomekat I'm not trying to be critical. I was just curious about the change. Maybe its been a thing for years and only now am I starting to notice it.
