Why do you think it's acceptable to write a name with a small letter these days?

Hello All,

I've just texted my manager on Teams App about my working hours after Christmas and he typed my name and another manager's name with a small letter :) answering my message.

He is 28. Is it how young people communicate these days in text messages?

Most work phones I've come across are those crappy little nokias that still have snake on them! They are a pain in the arse to write with let alone capitalise and punctuate properly. Could that be it, that's he's just writing a perfectly understood message but cba to fix all the mistakes as it would take a bloody age?

Maybe he's in a rush & having to send out messages to a few people. I miss capitals when I'm on Skype because I'm usually sat face to face with someone & trying to work through 4 different screens. Does it matter in the big scheme of things ?
With saying that if it was on an improvement document, Cv etc I would view it differently

Important, not improvement 🤣🤣

Normal rules of grammar don’t apply in text messages, in my opinion. It’s a quick and informal means of communication.

My iPad, and I think iPhone, used to have an incredibly annoying habit of automatically capitalising all words they decided could be proper nouns, particularly common words which are also used as surnames such as white or brown. Of course, it wouldn't do this trick until the word was complete, which made correcting it a pain. I'm glad to say it seems to have desisted now, but perhaps if someone got used to it they might have become lazy about doing it manually.
The most annoying example was it deciding that 'male' should be 'Male' - presumably the capital of the Maldives, but as that's actually Malé it wasn't even doing a good job on it.

Drip feed to come: OP's name is "Hope", the manager's name is "Pearl" and the poor guy can't write their names without his phone turning them into minuscules.

Personally, I'm much more bothered by people constantly addressing me as "thee" despite my being their elder. Do young people have NO respect these days?
