people give me grief all the time because i don't use proper capitalization in my texts. they even ridicule me if i say "you understand what i mean so who cares"

but i don't get to do the same thing when they say stupid shit like "smol". that's just normal, while i am retarded

Using capitalisation is actually reasonably useful for people with certian classes of disabilities, maybe concider it purely from the perspective.

So is breaking up things with whitespace which you did reasonably well.

So it's not a matter of "You know what I mean, so who cares?". They may realistically have had to put in significantly more effort into understanding what was written.

That isn't entirely true for something silly like the word smol.

i often avoid capitals myself in informal writing, but to be fair, there's a valid argument that period is pretty small and can be hard to spot by itself for something as important as the statement separator . capital letters help with that somewhat, although it doesn't help that we've overloaded them for other things . putting a space before the period helps keep it more distinct, but i really wish our punctuation was better designed (right after we reform english spelling i guess ...) .

but i digress . whataboutism aside, what's the actual problem ?
