lowercase

growing up, i only paid attention to proper casing when creating documents or writing an email. for instant messaging, i used all lowercase. then smartphones took off and autocapitalization made it something to not worry about… until i realized i probably didn’t want to give away what device i’m on when chatting with people. why should they rightfully guess i’m on my laptop when i text in lowercase when i can make things ambiguous by always texting in lowercase?

so i turned off autocapitalization.

over time, a framework emerged to tell my lowercase writing apart from appropriately cased ones. the former signified a stream-of-consciousness articulation, while the latter implied formal comms.

i plan to publish more in the new year, and one way i intend on making it less of an aspiration is to occasionally share slightly longer form versions of the kind of thoughts that inform my context-dense tweets. for these, editorializing will be kept to a minimum, and post-publishing expectations will be lowered or outright expunged.

they will also be written in lowercase.
