i think it’s interesting how it is possible to categorize people on whether or not they write in lowercase or uppercase, and to be so brutally honest, in all casual and unacademic scenarios, uppercase fucking pisses me OFF. there is no need for you, a nineteen year old boy with fucking frosted highlights and some rick owen’s adjacent jockstrap to text “ Like this”.
but i digress
i love linguistics - and i love poetry, i love literary elements - i love repetition and i like how within the word repetition the vowels repeat themselves. i love language, i love speaking, i love how the meaning of words changes depending on yes..its connotation, but also the connotation from the spelling itself
isn’t that so fucking cool?
example )
🟥 you’re a fucking bitch
🟩 your a fucking bitch
🟦 You’re a fucking bitch.
a) connotation is still aggressive, but the words feel ( on the basis of their spelling, specifically that they are lowercase ) less serious than they would otherwise
b) given it has the wrong “your”, meaning is once again devolved from its original intention based on its failure in correct grammar
c) shit is getting SERIOUS babe. contains all the hallmarks for a legitimate intention and drives this intention in a way that fully encapsulates the frustration
i dunno. i’m super duper hungry and would go feral for a hamburger right now
