Why Capitalization Matters

[ReX]

Dear people who type in all lower case:

We are the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse, and helping your uncle jack off a horse.

Sincerely,

Capital Letters

Speaking of capitalization, here's a PSA: it's "ZDoom" and "GZDoom". The "M" is not capitalized. The "Z" is capitalized. Thank you for your attention, citizen, have a nice day.

Capitalization might not be perfect but it's the best economic system we have right now.

It's easy to tell someone's personality by how they write.

I usually use normal capitalization and punctuation. However I feel like deviating from that can convey tone efficiently.

all lower case with no punctuation conveys a deadpan tone imo
like it's great for sarcasm and snark

ALL UPPER CASE IS OF COURSE ANGRY SHOUTING YOU NUMBNUTS
