no, due to being dyslexic and dysgraphic, though i've received extensive therapy for both! no, i can't be bothered to use the damn shift key, because for me, it's actually harder than good grammar, which many others don't seem capable of. yeah, when it's actually important, it takes me serious proof reading to get it right. =20 by the way, i have a 160 IQ, many dyslexics are geniuses, many people who can capitalize correctly are morons, or spastic whining twits, which are you! =20 just because you don't like my opinion doesn't mean you can call me names, however, if you want to go toe to toe linguistically, just let me know, i was once famous for my brutal rebuttals and cut downs, most learned quickly to be rational rather than calling names. =20 did you know i also can't write in cursive? i was taught many times to some extent but never retained it. my free hand writing has random capitalization, including in the middle of words and the same word will be capitalized differently if used more than once! yeah, my brain doesn't work like yours, but in a lot of ways it works better!=20 obviously you're someone who can't be bothered with considering people's individual problems, or saying something factual rather than making up studies about capitalization, which obviously have never happened.=20 however, i can tell you that studies show ignorant ranters tend to die so= oner. now go and make fun of someone's studer or some other problem they have. smeg off!
