or learned English chatting on the Internet?
At least make it sound like you’re speculating if you’re going to.
Presumably a shibboleth for human-generated content
Gen Z illiteracy crisis.
Let's not turn HN into a bunch of crotchety old men complaining about the youths.
Any particular reason you didn't write a complete sentence but still used a period, kid?
I'd take all lowercase over all uppercase anyday
