i don't know if I'm alone in this, but i find this style easier to read - find it less intense in a way. maybe it's an adaptive thing. maybe i'm just weird.

when i read caps i can almost feel the author's resentment at having had to reach for one of those shift keys and break up their typing rhythm, when without them text can flow so easily.

I find your post and the TFA difficult to read quickly. When I read, I don't consciously read every single word. I depend on recognizing the shapes of words, and the organization of those shapes with respect to each other. Without the normal capitalization, the pattern recognition becomes broken, so it takes longer to read, and causes more stress. I'm sure with enough time and practice, the brain can be trained to read without capitalization. But it is not the norm right now so it's harder.

Ah, I realise that it's a current stylistic trend but I've got to say that I really hate reading all lowercase text.

I find it harder to read and it comes across as the author using a passive aggressive tone where they can't be bothered to form sentences properly.

Probably the best way to describe it is, itwouldbelikesomeonenotbotheringtousespacesandexpectingyoutomakesenseofit. It makes communication harder.

You made me notice I use 'tall letters' as cues when reading, which help me read a little faster. I's seems to be an important letter for me. It took me, maybe, some extra milliseconds to read without them, enough to make me aware of it.

Personally the caps are second nature. You may find me sending U's and O's before you see me sending i's :-)

I sometimes like to read or write all-lower. Oftentimes, for me, it signifies a more casual air, so I tend to do it in text chats more often than not. I find the font and size in the article more annoying than the all-lower, personally -- if it was in HN-style 12pt Verdana, I don't know if I'd have noticed.

You’re probably alone in this.
