To silently judge all those with non capitalised usernames

[QuacksLikeADuck]

Consider these two usernames:

• QuacksLikeADuck
  
• quackslikeaduck
  

IMHO the first one is clearer, easier to read and just looks better!

AIBU to judge a username by its capitalisation and to secretly attribute the following characteristics to the owner of said username...

People with capitalised usernames are:

• More organised
  
• More punctal
  
• Neater
  

People with uncapitalised usernames are:

• Scatter brained
  
• Always late
  
• Messy
  

And even if your username is only one word it should still start with a capital letter!

OK I know IABVVU, and I am probably offending a good 50% of you right now! That's the point of AIBU innit?

But... am I right?

Now people might stop calling me tywy

[AdamLambsbreath]

I'm practically perfect in every way

HTH

[MindReader]

My username is capitalised, see above.

I am: messy, disorganised, unpunctual, frankly... a nightmare.

Fur coat and nae knickers, innit

btw, I would never capitalise someone's name FOR them

[halfdrunkcoffee]

Oh dear. I am obviously being judged. I change names every so often so next one will have to have caps.
I've never really thought much about whether someone's username has capitals in it or not. It gets on my nerves when long posts don't have any capital letters a the start of sentences, but I often don't notice the usernames very much unless it's a long-running thread with a few regular posters.

Scatterbrained - sometimes
Always late - rarely
Messy - usually.

Guilty as charged, Quack

[PlumpingUpPartridge]

Oddly, capitalising smug within brackets feels wrong somehow.

?

Hmm.

[PlumpingUpPartridge]

Hassled that was a awesome namechange!

[ScrambledSmegs]

My username is childish, geeky (Red Dwarf nod) and a little bit ok a lot disgusting. An excellent clue to my character.

The fact that it's capitalised is by the by, really.

[cricketpitch]

I am messy, (very), and scatterbrained but usually on time.

Love lower case - but agree in a very long user name it can make identifying key words difficult if there are none. However in my case it is simply sophisticated and cool!!!!!

Typing on a phone means caps and punctuation are time consuming.

[AtiaoftheJulii]

YANBU to silently judge. Y may be being a little bit U to start a thread about it!

I didn't capitalise the O and the T in mine, because I thought it was quite obvious what the words were and I thought it looked too choppy. (I may have overthought it.) But generally I prefer a sprinkling of capitals in a longer name. Short names, I'm not bothered, and like a pp, have one word usernames elsewhere that are all lower case and would look odd to me if they started with a capital.

[starsandunicorns]

Judge away however I am never late and very tidy

[FaFoutis]

YANBU sort of. I always assume they were typing while breastfeeding (or bottle feeding if you like).

[StillSquirrelling]

Tywysoges - indeed! Much better a princess than almost a prince

I am all my capital usage proclaims me to be - although am often late due to medical issues. I don't like being late though

I find it really difficult to read some of the longer user names that haven't been capitalised, especially the ones that can be misconstrued. Has anyone ever read that thing about unfortunate company URLs?

[ihatethecold]

Who cares?
I don't.

[LovleyRitaMeterMaid]

I agree although I'm a disorganised mess!

[Tobyjugg]

Doesn't bother me as much as people who scatter capital letters seemingly at random throughout their posts.

[FrancesNiadova]

[ihatethecold]

Great link Squirrel.

[GobblersKnob]

I am

• Deeply scatter brained
  
• Criminally late
  
• Deeply messy
  

But did chuck some caps in there, I don't think my old user name had caps though, if I were less scatter brained I suppose I might remember.

[TywysogesGymraeg]

Alas random Capital Letters are a Fact of Life these days - they are everywhere.

[TywysogesGymraeg]

See what I did there?
