Up til like 2010 I sent IMs in all lowercase. I picked it up on 1990s IRC, where capital letters were stuffy and authoritarian. Of course, we were utterly meticulous in all other aspects of grammar/spelling. A bunch of cool teens hanging out behind the gas station in tuxedos with the sleeves rolled up.
@mogwai_poet I used to type exclusively with perfect grammar and capitalisation; after that I switched to all lower case (even forced my phone to ignore case in autocorrect settings) and now I capitalise stuff for emphasis on desktop, and on mobile I just try and clean up after the mess autocorrect always makes
@mogwai_poet mine in particular seems to value meaningless nonsense over even actual words and will sometimes sabotage entire messages at the last second. its infuriating
@kyra Yes but extend that to all the shitty automation slowly taking over our lives
@kyra I feel like a larger and larger percentage of our lives are being spent cleaning up after autocorrect
