The distinction doesn’t even translate to verbal communication and many languages are perfectly fine without cases. It is meaningless. Stop it!

    I realize I am nowhere near influential enough. I am comfortable dying right here and now among all you lovely people.

      I mean, it isn’t that difficult. Just pick all lower case or all upper case to communicate in.

        By current conventions, one of those will be interpreted as aggressive and the other submissive, or unprofessional or something (at least within many common contexts).

        I am that judgy too. For example, I just had an email with someone I work for this week and she used the word breech (which means poo) instead of breach (as in a contractual breach). And I took the rest of the day off to giggle.

          No choice then. Odd letters of the alphabet gets capitalized, even letters get downcased. That way you need to learn only one glyph for each still, but nobody will interpret you as BDSM.
