        What is your reasoning for not just using capital letters where grammar requires it? I agree with OP, it makes it very annoying to read the way it is now.

            I’ve got a buddy who texts like this. It’s madness, but I love him and texts are short. I didn’t realize the ability to write like this long form. It’s just a style, but it makes it hard as hey for me to actually get my brain to not just error out and quit is all. This isn’t a blog for anyone though, it’s for you so you do you!

        Yes, actually! I love Knifepoint Horror, but I can’t ever read any of the books because the tell-tale signs of readability weren’t there and it breaks my brain. I can read all caps fine though.

          not familiar, though i’m not much of a horror guy myself

          i’m gonna assume based on context it’s the kind of work my senior-year english teacher would have spent two classes having us discuss the meaning behind the punctuation (or lack thereof) and capitalization, with my attention divided between [i have redacted this for several reasons…]

            I went back and looked and I think old boy just uses big chunka paragraphs. School sucks, you do you. I just figured I’d tell you I just can’t read it. Uppercase is good stuff though, you had good things to say and I thought it was cute and you’re very intelligent for a youngun’. You’ll do well, just keep fostering your voice, skills and more of that purposeful consumerism. I’d like to read more about your phone, so I hope you share it some time.

            Also horror sucks, I just love it. Don’t worry about it.

                Oh yeah, of course! I hope to see it, but I update by the hour so who the hell knows if I will. Either way best of luck. I often remember fucking up is just part of the learning process. So if you break something, just learn from it. When you make your first public phone, I’ll line up.

        LoL… looks like a EULA in Uppercase

        Much prefer that you do your stuff the way you want, and lowercase makes it feel like it’s hand written

          yeah, i prefer lowercase as i find it comes off more casual / authentic

          shit, i am a hipster, aren’t i
