Do other people react as strongly as I did to the lack of capitalisation at the start of sentences? The post is generally "well" written with good grammar and punctuation so I find it strange - it feels like a style choice. But the style choice just instinctively makes part of my brain feel like it's written by a child.

i didn't even notice there was no capitalisation when i read the article

idk about the author, but when i was younger, some people's pedantry and pettiness over grammar / capitalisation / more casual chatting got me to switch sides and deliberately stop using it as much. now it's also an aesthetic preference

i think there's potentially a valid point about accessibility concerns, but blog posts, chatrooms, and internet comments are also very informal modes of discourse

Downvoted your comment because of spelling. Consider learning some English grammar.

^ exactly the type of person i was talking about. how is this considered anything other than troll behaviour?

also, there are no spelling mistakes in my comment. perhaps consider learning about how words are spelled in british english vs american english? :)
