I understand language evolves, but the stray capital letters in writing drives me crazy.
@freemo from a recent email: “If we were to remove your Silo label and mesh it with the IT TEAM overall Umbrella. Where can your Smart Matter Expert Hat label contribute to the betterment of the department (Other than your job description Label)”
Why capitalize Silo, Umbrella, Smart, Matter, Expert, Hat, Label?

@garyackerman My god... the horror! Please print out that email, delete every copy from your server, then burn the print out and dissolve the ashes in acid... we must ensure this vile thing never makes it into the fossil record forever staining our species!
@freemo LOL but it came from my boss :)
@garyackerman Ok your boss will be a bit more difficult to take care of... call me, we should keep that off the public record :)
(Just joking obviously).
@garyackerman if you mean the iPhones and LogSeqs, then I blame Unix.
I'm glad the Unix manuals prefer clarity over grammar, because if you have to read this:
Ls is a system tool which...
Then you might type 'Ls', instead of 'ls', which it wrong. That opens the door to variables written inCamelCase, then finally the iPhone, which clearly has this 'tek aesthetic'.
Of course that's quite ugly, and I'm happy to say my spell checker picks up "iPhone" as wrong.
@garyackerman hMm? What do yoU meAn? nobody tYPEs LiKe thAt in reAL liFe.
@garyackerman What do you mean, can you give an example or two?
