Look, I’m not saying you need to become a perfectionist. Typos happen. I’ve sent emails that look like they were typed by a cat walking on the keyboard. But if you want to sound like a competent adult on the internet, capitalizing proper nouns and sentence starters is kind of the bare minimum. It’s like wearing pants to a Zoom meeting—you don’t have to, but it helps everyone take you seriously.
So here’s your action plan: Remap your Search key to Caps Lock. Use both Shift keys like they’re long-lost twins. And when all else fails, just type in lowercase and apologize ironically. Your Chromebook will forgive you. Probably.
P.S. – If you’re still struggling, blame the keyboard. It’s plastic, it’s shallow, and it has a vendetta against your pinky. But now you know the tricks. Go forth and capitalize with confidence. You’ve got this. Pinky promise.
