Would it kill people to capitalize their sentences properly?

[Dreamstalker]

There are some people who, for some reason unknown to me, Feel The Need To Capitalize Every Word They Type Even When It's Not A Title. I think this is even more aggravating than all lowercase.

Ugh, I hate that too. All lowercase just "sounds" like somebody being quiet, the capitalize-every-word reminds me of a Type-A suit who's always stressed and punctuates every word with an angry finger stab.

I used to know someone like that on another forum. When asked about it they said there was a reason (I believe it was something to do with a disability), but I can't recall what it was.

With me, If it is a wall of text. Then I will not read it. If someone didn't capitalize a sentence, it really doesn't matter. When I type on a forum, I am most likely to not see that I didn't capitalize something.

That reminds me of someone my wife used to be friends with. The girl would write in a wall of text, and exactly as how she would say it if she was talking verbally. I tried giving her a lot of leeway as she was born (and raised for a little while IIRC) in Central America. It failed after trying to "translate" it for my wife one day (just trying to take it from almost net-speak to "normal" words). The girl can speak perfect English, has no problem understanding anything...her typing would make a hacker blush.

I didn't mean to break your brain.

'Tis easy to do, I'm afraid...

Yes!!! We used to have a supervisor that did that, and would would "quote" seemingly random words all the freaking time. Drove me NUT NUT.

Argh! My district supervisor does this. She uses quotations to emphasize words, probably because she's too dumb to figure out how to italicize. But my mind interprets quotations differently than italics, so reading her e-mails is a bumpy ride.

My MIL has some of the most horrendous writing I've ever seen. She likes to put emphasis on a lot of words by capitalizing the whole thing, and her new favorite phrase is "per se" apparently, judging from her last email.
I hate wading through the crap she sends out, not least because it can frequently be extremely passive agressive. Hell, the last one was flat out rude to my BIL that is living with us. I'm still quite angry about that one.

I *hate* when people over use their new favorite word. I distinctly recall one conversation with an acquaintance; it was "hella" this and "hella" that and "hella" something else (this was eons ago when the word started to get popular here). I wanted to say - "OK...you are hella hip for using the word "hella", I GOT THE MEMO, thanks".

I wouldn't have minded it if she'd used it correctly, but she didn't, and there were times she'd use it in a sentence twice, both times incorrectly. Eesh.

I still use that word. But I do not use it after every word.
