lowercase vs. Uppercase.
All-lowercase writing expresses additional meaning that you may not intend:
- You’re lazy.
- You’re careless.
- You’re uneducated.
- You don’t care about the legibility of your text.
And if we are to follow this logic to its obvious conclusion, then it is safe to say that e.e. cummings was an asshole.
Woah, major grammar war going on here! Who knew? Also, I think Hilker’s initial comment about having creative license due to completing 2 years of an English Degree was just slightly tongue in cheek. Also….HOLY LIGHTEN UP! It’s not like any of us are submitting our tumblr posts to the Nobel committee. Geez louise! *I mean, Louise*
