Off-topic: this is the third blog I come accross in the last month that does not use capital letters at the beginning of sentences. Am I out of the loop? Why is that?
It’s an anti-signal trying to lower the writing’s formalness without actually casualizing the language, usually a quick shortcut for those who compose coherent sentences instinctively and would otherwise need to spend mental energy to go out of their way to not write like that.
It could be that, but also many other languages don't capitalize titles the way English does. It took me a long time as an English learner to learn that it was expected. It still feels very weird to me.
in my case i think its laziness, holding down shift also feels like an unnecessary distraction. it could also just be me being difficult, ive been told sometimes that i am.
ps: its the future of the internet, get in now, be a cool kid.
Well... First of all, this is a blog post, it's not just casual chat. Second, they seem to capitalise names properly, so it's not just down to 'laziness' or 'limiting distraction'...
