Following convention and using standard capitalization rules makes things easier on the reader.

Going to all-lowercase is harder on the reader, and thus is disrespectful of the reader. I will die on this hill.

THIS IS WHY I PREFER TO COMMUNICATE ONLY IN CAPITAL LETTERS. IT REMOVES ANY AMBIGUITY AS TO WHETHER OR NOT I’M ANGRY SINCE THE READER CAN ASSUME I’M ALWAYS SCREAMING IN THEIR FACE.

I HOPE YOU ARE HAVING A NICE DAY.

Caps Lock is Cruise Control for Cool, right? ;o)

I’ve worked with people who write in all lowercase, but I’ve never worked with someone who writes in ALL CAPS.

How long could someone write in ALL CAPS before they get fired?

>>IvyMik+(OP)
This. Reading is hard enough, especially on a screen. Flouting readability conventions shows such contempt for one's readers, which I suppose is the point here.

One of the nurses at the high school I teach at only emails SHOUTY-STYLE. She’s been there 26 years.
