Punctuation, capital letters, proper spelling, etc. exist for a reason: They're a standardized set of tools for making our writing clearer and easier to read. In a professional setting, they also indicate a level of thoughtfulness and attention to detail. In my mind, at least.

If you can write clearly without using these tools or if you're writing in a situation where style is more important than clarity, fine. Go nuts.

If you just can't be bothered to make, like, five extra keypresses... C'mon, man.
