why bother with capitalization at the beginning of sentences?

i don't do it on the internet. it's a remnant from an obsolete medium.

reforms have been tried but they never stick because >muh prescriptivism

Punctuation and capitalisation are used to rest the eye between sentences. I find it helps me concentrate more on what the author is trying to say, and let's me easily go back through the text and pick up something I would like to read again. Without it, I suspect the eye would be tired far more quickly having less structure to form a natural pause, and reading for long periods of time would be more difficult and distracting.

capitalization is a product of the patriarchy, white cis men used it to opress order into the flow of information. poetry has been oppressed by white cis males with their stanzas and pentameters and structure thankfully we are being liberated with free verse poetry by strong independent econommmicalllly gender fluid binaray twice oppressed once removed test tube born rastafarin proto queers

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

It's because it's civilized. It looks better. Are you so lazy that you have trouble reaching for the shift key?

I was pointing out the incorrect use of the apostrophe in that post.
