why i write lowercase

  • informality, readability
  • texting habits
  • coding habits
  • i use capitals for Emphasis
  • rejection of the Proper, rejection of professionalism
  • context - i’m autistic, my brain prefers it, and i’ve learnt the importance of respecting these kinds of quirks
  • an ‘i’ in particular seems less assertive and more speculatory in lowercase - i as in my current flow of thoughts, not I as in A Fixed Entity
  • mostly - i usually type one-handed, i’m quicker and less strained this way - chronic pain and bodily positioning
