"mildly interesting observation: i always use capital letters when writing by hand, but usually only type them when doing something that somehow reminds me of being in school."
""When I see writing without capitalization it seems sloppy, unprofessional, and a little lazy," Tara Ceranic Salinas, a professor of business ethics at the University of San Diego's Knauss School of Business, told Fortune. "How hard is it to capitalize?""
Sam Altman frequently uses all-lowercase texting and casual punctuation in internal messages and social posts. That habit appears even during high-stakes moments such as November 2023 when he was briefly ousted as CEO. Other executives in the same exchanges, including Satya Nadella and Bret Taylor, used traditional capitalization and grammar. Altman acknowledged the habit on X, noting he uses capitals when handwriting but rarely when typing unless reminded of school. Communication experts warn that lowercase writing can be perceived as sloppy, unprofessional, and lazy, and that Gen Z workers may face career consequences for similar habits.
