I honestly hope this comes from using some accessibility tool like dictation software. Otherwise it’s honestly a childish thing to do - and in that case I fully expect the retort will be something like “I know people complaining about this are just pedantics, I use it as a filter to decide who I should pay attention to”. I’ve seen similar attitudes before. Occasionally someone will hide behind dyslexia, which begs some questions, but I just don’t have the medical training required to assess the veracity of such claims.

Also, trying to evangelize a tool while being a weirdo is not going to help your case.

Wow I didn't even notice until I read this comment.

It's a lack of consideration for tradition. nano is spelt all lowercase, and starts sentences a lot; I think it'd be harder to read if sentences alternated between initial capital and initial miniscule.

Elsewhere on their blog (and especially on their gemlog) the author discusses and uses teh constructed language Toki Pona[1].

From wikipedia: > Capital initials are used to mark proper adjectives, while Toki Pona roots are always written with lowercase letters, even when they start a sentence.

I imagine they've deliberately carried this across to their English language writing too.
