Wendy Blackheart wrote a thing I’ve thought, but never quite got around to saying out loud:
On another kink related peeve: I find it incredibly jarring to read things with typing protocols, such as W/we Y/you, whatever. Just because I’m a top doesn’t mean I need to bend the rules of English and unnecessarily capitalize words. Likewise, just because someone is submissive doesn’t mean they need to throw out the rules and never capitalize anything.
Do you know what I do when I start to read something written in that fashion? I stop, and I don’t go back. I don’t mean to sound like I’m judging any one’s lifestyle or identification, because I’m not. But when it comes to writing? Just write regularly.
I’m not quite as inclined to “stop and don’t go back” as Wendy, but a lot of abnormal capitalizations and slashes do add substantial pain to my blog reading, and once the pain level overwhelms my interest level, I’m gone. Standard English is standard for a reason, people.
