I never even noticed the lack of caps,
 and my IQ is at least up there with yours,
 I do tend to notice grammatical errors
 (except my own, until after hitting send)
As for freehand, I seem to have trouble there too, nothing diagnosed,
and if I am not wearing my glasses, forget trying to read my writing.
As for the comments by DJN I have a real oddity for both he and you to
ponder.
Back in the days of CPM and Basic,
I used a variation of Basic that did not require spaces and I actually fo=
und
it easier to read code without spaces.
forX%=3D0to255:ifX%andM%=3DD%thenX%(X%)=3DY%elseifX%andY%=3DM%thenX%(X%)=3D=
orD%elseX%(
X%)=3D0
next
To me the above code is quite easy to read and understand,
 perhaps my brain is a bit more twisted that the rest of the worlds...
