Thank goodness... I was worried after I posted about the shift key thing - in retrospect, my comments seemed awfully condescending. It's hard to tell on the Internet if you have an expensive computer with a functionining shift key, or you possess one of those cheap knockoffs that don't. I thought maybe I insulted you with my comments -
I work in IT. I think it's fair to say i have many-a computer, and that for me typing goes faster when it's for substance and not using extra keystrokes for capitalization. Plus, i'm in linux shells all day, where case-sensitivity matters, so avoiding the shift key is just normal for me.

I hear you with the machine language. But- not unlike the digital world, case sensitivity in human communication matters. So - not avoiding the shift key should be normal when you step back into the real world. I have many an IT friend that spends the day with their head in linux shells - and somehow (not sure how) they seem to manage to separate the real world from the digital realm and send e-mails that are easy on the eyes (i.e. capitalization, punctionation, lack of abbreviations, etc).![]()
:) You're the first person that's ever mentioned it. Have I really not used punctuation? I'll have to go back and look. I thought I used commas and periods fine.
It's funny though hearing you say that this and email is the 'real world'. I haven't heard that before. In my real world, there's no shift keys.

"Real World" is anything outside of the linux "box" you operate in. I can see wanting to be "efficient" inside the box, but outside the box - efficiency isn't always the most desireable trait.![]()
If all you're used to is operating in the "box" real world - you really need to get outside and smell the fresh air. Socialization is a good thing.![]()
