I used to eat superfoods but I had to stop. The capes kept getting caught in my molars.

Allegra Sloman Me typing this has made me realize something about capitalization and punctuation on social media. I normally type to a formal English standard; caps in the beginning, periods at the end, a collection of punctuation in the middle. But when I’m feeling in sync with another commenter I drop all the punctuation because I’m a) acknowledging informality and b) saying that I trust the other person to say what I’ve just written *with the correct intonation*. And I don’t even know you. This is very bizarre, and thank you sir.
