1/ Interesting realization about tone on the web. I (and others) use capitalization, punctuation + short sentences when I'm confident, angry

2/ When speaking truth to power. When being assertive. When isolating injustice. Proper phrasing is when I stand tall and shake my fist.

5/ It's interesting to be deliberate about it. Soft strength. Bold vulnerability. I might experiment with switching it up in the future.

7/ There's something sexy about proper grammar. I would never date anybody who didn't appreciate that. It's my equivalent of wearing a tux.

8/ There are some occasions where you dress up, and some occasions where you dress down. So it is with words. Especially on the web.

10/ CorporateTalk can be deliberate or clueless. Academic talk can be deliberate or clueless. All attire can be deliberate or clueless.

11/ Fashion, design, architecture, words, photography. All forms of expression lend themselves to amazing nuance and texture. Joyous, truly.

13/ When I say I want the world to have better taste, I don't mean MY taste. I mean your own. Discover yourself through your own expression.
