can someone please explain to me why I am noticing more and more users on here not capitalizing? I understand grammatical errors, such as spelling and punctuation, but surely everyone knows that the beginning of each sentence deserves a capital letter, as well as proper nouns, etc....
Did I miss a memo? Did the mobile bump app take away capitalization? Is it popular now? Or just a lot easier than hitting the shift key?
I swear I used to not notice it, and now it's being done a lot lately. What gives?

Good question. I guess I really don't know, but I can give you my thinking behind it: Ellipses can be used to show a pause in the flow of a sentence, so I have always used them with a long post title to make everyone aware that there is more to the title... so with that thinking, it shouldn't be the beginning of a new paragraph. However, I should follow through with that, and after my initial "first sentence", I should go ahead and make everything else that follows start in a new paragraph.
Ahhhh... screw it, let's just all not capitalize and then I won't feel guilty about *this* problem.
This. hahaha
