i don't know why, but there is something oddly soothing about (nearly) all the text being in lowercase

This is how I write in chat, but not in emails or comments or readmes or more "permanent" things.
me too. this must have been studied linguistically somewhere? when i'm in lowercase mode i'll actually even go back and delete an accidental uppercase letter! so it's not just about laziness. maybe it has something to do with formality register? like how it can even be inappropriate to use a too formal register with a close friend, imagine if you suddenly called your spouse _mister_ or _misses_ smith!
Totally! I especially wish Titles With Every Word Capitalised would die
