Gen Z daw doesn’t like using capitalization. Personally sumasakit ulo ko kapag lahat lowercase. Feeling ko kaya ko na mang-identify kung gen z sila base sa typings pa lang, and that’s exactly why I don’t engage. Yung kapatid ko lang ang tanggap ko sa ganyan, kasi wala eh, kapatid ko siya.
Especially if it’s a whole ass paragraph tapos wala talagang capitalization. Parang ayaw ko na basahin yung post for that sole reason alone.
Tapos kapag nakakita ako ng pa-survey or formal-ish document / interaction or whatnot and may pa-cute emojis na biglang naka-singit. Napapa da fuq is that ako. Tanggalin mo nga yan. I’m all for cute emojis tho, paki-lugar lang lol.
Is it a petty pet peeve? Maybe. Siguro tumatanda na nga ako. sigh
I also used to do that ages ago, nagpapa-cute lang haha
using non-capitalizing words started when deadmau5 was huge back in mid-2000s until mid-2010s.
dunno, i get influence by him with these lowercase typings. it’s not really a generational thing. somehow, nasa default smartphone keyboard rin ang rason.
ako naman, si ee cummings. who not only avoided capitalization, but also apostrophes. kaya andami kong comments na grammatically incorrect (eg s vs 's).
also not a gen z.
mas icky sa akin yung pinipilit gumamit ng fancy words kahit hindi akma sa gusto iparating.
like “sanaol” and “yarn.” you’re not alone, and i’m an early gen z.
