The thing I don't get is, honestly, the notion that it's ANY more effort to hit the shift key occasionally; if you're a reasonably fluent typist, doesn't it just happen naturally in the course of typing?

Even if you're not, I guess I can't wrap my head around the notion that meeting the bare minimum of being understood is sufficient when you're trying to communicate ideas to other people. Ts pssbl t cmmnct lk ths, bt ts crtnly mr dffclt fr th rdr t ndrstnd. I don't get why anyone would want to adopt a "typing style" that didn't care about basic grammatical rules -- what the motivation is.

yo wut

this typing style and following "basic grammatical rules" are not mutually exclusive. these sentences are syntactically and morphologically well-formed. u r conflating typological conventions w/ grammar and thats stupid

Now, if you want to argue that everyone should use the standard all the time, that's a different matter (though I'll still disagree with you). But don't act like it has anything to do with "grammar" or correct English. Because if you think that, you're wrong.

pssst

orthography =/= grammar

u might wanna make sure you have your vocabulary straight before you start going on about communicating ideas to other people

Orthography, that's the word I was forgetting. Thanks, anon.

I totally agree with you, but I think sometimes it's because people haven't learnt to type. So if you need to look at the keyboard, or type with two fingers then anything with fewer keystrokes must be easier. I learnt the old fashioned way, on a manual typewriter no less when I was a teenager a long time ago. So it would be unnatural for me not to capitalise. It's an automatic thing, but I never look at the keyboard either.
