What happened to capital letters?
QED
after ~30 years of online chatting, they kind of naturally went away for me.
I find it fascinating that people who communicate largely through certain media (like SMS, or twitter) have evolved their own independent systems for assigning meaning to capitalization and punctuation. While there is a benefit to having an norms shared by all within a discourse community, it's a shame some people are so fastidious and judgemental when applying their own cultural norms to others.
