Hi, I’m genuinely curious about your writing style. I’m seeing this trend of no proper casing and no punctuation becoming vogue-ish. Is there a particular reason you prefer to write this way or is this writing style typical for a generation? Sincere question, not snark, coming from an older generation guy.

This is the writing style of this generation. I've just scrolled 6 months of my conversation with a friend in his twenties. Not a single comma or period to be seen. I mean on his side.

If you grew up in the internet of early 2000s, that's how we wrote online.
