    you hate lower-case or monospace? hopefully not dr seuss, too, or shoo, shoo, you!

          What is your reasoning for not just using capital letters where grammar requires it? I agree with OP, it makes it very annoying to read the way it is now.

              I’ve got a buddy who texts like this. It’s madness, but I love him and texts are short. I didn’t realize the ability to write like this long form. It’s just a style, but it makes it hard as hey for me to actually get my brain to not just error out and quit is all. This isn’t a blog for anyone though, it’s for you so you do you!

          Yes, actually! I love Knifepoint Horror, but I can’t ever read any of the books because the tell-tale signs of readability weren’t there and it breaks my brain. I can read all caps fine though.

            not familiar, though i’m not much of a horror guy myself

            i’m gonna assume based on context it’s the kind of work my senior-year english teacher would have spent two classes having us discuss the meaning behind the punctuation (or lack thereof) and capitalization, with my attention divided between [i have redacted this for several reasons…]

              I went back and looked and I think old boy just uses big chunka paragraphs. School sucks, you do you. I just figured I’d tell you I just can’t read it. Uppercase is good stuff though, you had good things to say and I thought it was cute and you’re very intelligent for a youngun’. You’ll do well, just keep fostering your voice, skills and more of that purposeful consumerism. I’d like to read more about your phone, so I hope you share it some time.

              Also horror sucks, I just love it. Don’t worry about it.

          LoL… looks like a EULA in Uppercase

          Much prefer that you do your stuff the way you want, and lowercase makes it feel like it’s hand written

            yeah, i prefer lowercase as i find it comes off more casual / authentic

            shit, i am a hipster, aren’t i
