This is a late-Gen Z/Gen A thing. They don’t use punctuation or capitalization anymore. Apparently they view it as too formal or “fake”. They relate it to “fake it til you make it” mentality in the workplace.
I know this is a “no the kids are wrong” take, but I just find it infuriating to read. I understand you want to be more genuine and I’m all for that…but if I can’t fucking read what you write because it’s 28 lines of all lower case, unpunctuated text…that’s not a “professional” versus “being genuine” problem. That’s broke ass communication.
As a millennial who didn’t stop using the internet in 2015 I have no problem reading this. I don’t write like that because it’s not what I’m used to, but it’s fine, it’s social media not a professional presentation, chill.

The irony in claiming you don’t type like that, but your entire comment is full of mangled punctuation and grammar, is hilarious.
Pot, kettle, etc. I never claimed to have perfect grammar or punctuation. Your own comment could do with some revision if you think it’s so important.
It’s just called illiteracy, it’s not that complicated.
Not being able to read it is technically illiteracy in that specific context, sure.
