there is something that you might notice (if in fact you do exist out there nameless faceless reader personality person) when you read my blog. i don’t really use capital letters. if they are there, it’s because i’m posting either from my ipad or iphone and the autocaps thing is on and i don’t have the time to sit there and try and keep it from capitalizing everything. i tried it once before and it takes forever and i don’t have the patience and i really don’t even care that much.
anyway.
i don’t like using capital letters. for anything. when i sign my name, my signature contains no capitals. i’m even a notary public…and my official ‘too cool for school notary public’ signature is all lower case also. i don’t understand them. obviously, i actually understand them, i just don’t really see the need for them anymore.
capital letters were forced upon us by the man, man.
no, i don’t believe that.
for me, it’s mostly aesthetic. i am very big on handwriting, and when i was younger i obsessively practiced my handwriting. there are also times where i put planning and effort into changing my handwriting. my handwriting has made quite a few changes over the years. and, in every instance, i hated capital letters. i hate how they look in comparison to their lower case counterparts. i want all equal letters. just like the way that some people write in all capitals. my daddy is an engineer. when he writes he writes in all capital letters. he told me when i was younger that it was because if you are writing on plans or a schematic you need to have clear handwriting so anyone else can read it, and the easiest way for him was for it to be all capital. all the letters are distinct.
but yeah. now i’m rambling. i’m not too lazy to capitalize. i just don’t believe in it.
