O sweet spontaneous - e.e. cummings

i love writing in all lowercase letters.

to me all words look better in lowercase. you would think since i was an english major that it would drive me absolutely crazy when people didn't use correct capitalization, but it doesn't. if i enjoyed writing (which i don't) my trademark would be lowercase letters. e.e. cummings did it why can't i? and yes, i am completely aware that cummings may have preferred capitol letters.

he demonstrated unconventional orthography in a lot of his poetry. he experimented with structure, capitalization, and punctuation. a man after my own heart!

i may become a writer just so i can break the normality of the written world. the only problem is, i would more than likely write children’s books and they wouldn't appreciate my revolt. so i guess i will continue to conform to the real world and use CAPS when i write...
