    Why Would You Take The Time To Write Like This?



    iCouldMaybeUndestandItForPeopleWhoWritetoMuchCode, or_maybe_old_skool_naming_conventions, but I personally thought lower caps was all the rage, as it was the lazy way of typing.



    Luckily I have never owned a mobile phone so writing in "phone speak" is not part of my diction (it took me days to figure out what ROFL meant)

    No. Quoted text is now smaller by default.

    i find it annoying . all lowers for me, unless addressing the greatness that is Apple, and a few other, more rare, occassions (like Holidays, and weekendS). certainly not in every word of a regular sentence. that just seems like needless obnoxiousness; it seems like it'd slow me too. i'm already a retard, i dont need to be intentionally slower.
