        What is your reasoning for not just using capital letters where grammar requires it? I agree with OP, it makes it very annoying to read the way it is now.

        Yes, actually! I love Knifepoint Horror, but I can’t ever read any of the books because the tell-tale signs of readability weren’t there and it breaks my brain. I can read all caps fine though.

          not familiar, though i’m not much of a horror guy myself

          i’m gonna assume based on context it’s the kind of work my senior-year english teacher would have spent two classes having us discuss the meaning behind the punctuation (or lack thereof) and capitalization, with my attention divided between [i have redacted this for several reasons…]

        LoL… looks like a EULA in Uppercase

        Much prefer that you do your stuff the way you want, and lowercase makes it feel like it’s hand written
