* <<GBJ.1138>> CAPITALIZE
:rudigram:
I REMEMBER THINKING IT SHOCKING AND SOMEWHAT OUTRAGEOUS TO MY THEN
HIGHLY CONVENTIONAL SENSIBILITIES THAT MY BEST FRIEND DELIBERATELY
CHOSE NOT TO USE ANY CAPITALIZATION IN HIS TYPEWRITTEN CORRESPONDENCE
- THIS WAS ROUGHLY TWENTY YEARS AGO - I AM LESS JARRED BY IT NOW AS I
HAVE SEEN RATHER A LOT OF PEOPLE ADOPT THE SAME CONVENTION OVER THE
YEARS - THE THOUGHT I CONTINUE TO HAVE IS THIS - IF YOU ARE GOING TO
SHIRK CAPITALIZATION AND RENDER YOUR WORDS ENTIRELY IN THE FORMS OF
ONE TYPE CASE THEN WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU CHOOSE THE LOWER CASE -
MINISCULE GLYPHS ARE GARBAGE - WHY WOULD YOU NOT REVERT TO THE SOLID
MAJISCULE FORMS OF OUR EARLY LATIN ALPHABET - THE FORMS CARVED IN
STONE UPON CAPITOLINE MONUMENTS AND THEIR STARK MODERN SANS SERIF
DESCENDANTS - WHY WOULD YOU CHOOSE THE CRUMPLED DISTORTIONS SHAPED BY
THE SHORTCOMINGS OF SCRIBES - CAN IT REALLY BE THAT YOUR INDOLENCE OR
APATHY IS SO GREAT THAT IT IS NOT ONLY TOO MUCH BOTHER TO
PERIODICALLY ACTUATE THE SHIFT KEY WHILST WRITING BUT INDEED THE VERY
RARE SETTING OF THE CAPS LOCK KEY IS ITSELF TOO BURDENSOME FOR YOUR
FLACCID WILL
