Then you should be very embarrassed!!

And just so you know......I am a "dinosaur" and I know how to use capitalization correctly. Your generalization is demeaning to the older crowd.

random capitals or random words with capitals are so much easier to read than text language

? hard? u c da . no?

Edit:

thanks to the original poster for the information, it was relatively easy to read. The only difference I would have appreciated is a few line breaks for emphasis.

Gee now I know what Trump feels like when The Media doesn't have a clue what's REALLY going on. So I learned people are only interested in knowledge if given to them from 8th grade. look I'm 60 arthritis for me typing with boxing gloves on, try it sometime. Capital letter allow for EMPHASIZE SOMETHING. I also have no vocal chords,which is frustrating when you wanna yell. Capital letters are My visual way to do what people can do all around Me. Talk. I suppose it's easy to make fun of something you don't understand. That's the way some have to cope after learning. If you can't follow the subject don't blame the writer.

maybe this will help:

I don't know why I just stumbled across this thread, but it might just be my favorite so far.
But then again, I'm easily amused.

The question is, what did it sound like to your audience?

That isn't what he's doing, here.

So-called rules, regarding grammar, do tend to vary somewhat from generation, to generation (and from country to country) and some people will, also, use slightly different rules depending on the venue.

Like the way I'm choosing to separate sentences, here, rather than paragraphs; in an attempt to to make my ramblings slightly less tiring on the eyes.

People do capitalise entire words, for emphasise, as that was (and still is, in many circles) considered a perfectly reasonable thing to do, until some other people decided they felt threatened by it, as it seemed "shouty".

Most did (or do) not do it to replace cogent argument.

They did it because it is/was a helpful devise, to show where vocal emphasise would lie.

Sometimes, knowing that can change the entire meaning of a sentence.

So, it is sad to lose it, really.

However, the OP is not using some form of old school grammar you, apparently, find archaic and perhaps, threatening(?), here.

He is, for whatever reason, making numerous grammatical errors and also, not correcting the mistakes in his prose.

The grammar he is using, here, was never considered correct.

Doesn't mean you can't still understand him, if you want to, but it does take a little more effort.

Sadly for you, assuming you intend to live beyond 30 yourself(?), you're an ageist.

Great thing about ageism, as opposed to many of the other "isms", is that karma almost always returns the favour.

Normally, a lot sooner than you think...

So, enjoy. ;D

Expertly done. Millennials in the work place have this “holier than thou” stench about them.
