Should We Change Habits Just Coz It Bothers Some People?

 I've stayed in my Jammies all day on Sunday, not feeling 100%.  I did Write Two Posts and will not Publish this one until Tuesday sometime. Tomorrow both The Man and I have the annual Home Healthcare Eval which this Year is being done by HUMANA.  Should be interesting how much, if at all, it differs than the one United Healthcare provided Annually and insisted upon?  They all push for one now if you're on Medicare, even if, like The Man, you already have Home Healthcare coming regularly... so... whatever.  I'll try to remember my Three Words and Cognitive Exam stuff like drawing of a Clock Face and putting a Time in there.  *LOL*  The Man never does too well and they know he has TBI and Dementia onset now, so I guess they're just Monitoring it.  At least we're not required to have Four of these in 18 Months like the President has had!  Lord have Mercy he MUST be really bad off and closely being Monitored for Serious Cognitive Decline, I never heard of anyone having THAT many in rapid succession, that's NOT Normal!!!  He shouldn't be Prez for that reason ALONE... tho' there are a myriad of legit other reasons he should NOT be.

I've been asked more than a few times why I randomly Capitalize Words mid-sentence?  I pondered it, coz I know it's grammatically incorrect, so I know better, but I don't care, I've always just done it anyway.  So, with the curiosity now piqued I decided to Google it, and figure out if it tracks with why I probably do it, mebbe even subconsciously even if intentionally?  Well, lo and behold, now that AI gets involved it is quite interesting what Artificial Intelligence feels about why us Humans do things and they are pretty accurate IMO as to the Why!  First of all, I didn't even know it's now a Popular Quirk and Trend with a lot of Young folks on the Internet, who knew?  I didn't coz I've been doing it so long most of those Youngsters probably weren't even born yet to Trend it, and, I am Quirky tho', so... I do a lot of Quirky shit and I know this about myself.  I delved deeper tho' since even Quirks have Meaning usually, to whoever does them.

 So, AI concluded the following and it did indeed Track in my case, becoz I felt their explanation was pretty accurate:  People intentionally capitalize words mid-sentence to add emphasis, convey a specific tone, or stylize text.  When bolding or italics aren't available, capital letters act like spoken vocal stress to draw the Reader's Eye directly to a crucial point, show reverence or respect, mebbe importance to that word above the other words.  So, there ya have it and I'd say it's likely why I do it.  I don't think it's any big deal but for some reason if someone is a stickler for Grammar and you do something grammatically incorrect, it really does bother them.  Sorry, not meant to wind anyone up... tho' it often did with my Teachers in School.  *Winks*  Just capitalizing their profession, like I just did, often gave some English Teachers the Vapors and long speeches that it was Wrong.  I knew that, even dropping my Grade didn't stop me tho', I didn't think it to be so "Wrong" that it mattered, I still don't, obviously.  *Winks*

And then I thought, well, let us devote this Post's Topic to the Question then:  Should we change habits just coz it bothers some people?  Humnnn... I don't tend to, even if I get complaints.  I think about it tho', and then decide, changing my Habits is harder at this age, I tend to just fall right back into them again.  And, if it hurts no-one, why bother?  Another Example of things I've been asked more than a few times here in The Land Of Blog:  Why do I go Long on my Posts?  I don't know.  So I thought, well, this Built In AI shit might like to give an Opinion, so let's just put out a Google Query again and see what comes up?  It's kinda fun and interesting to see what Artificial Intelligence 'Thinks' about why us Humans do what we do, and I do find them to be uncannily accurate about it actually.  They had a short answer for this one: 

 People go long on Blog Posts - publishing detailed comprehensive Posts or Articles of 1,500 to 3,000+ Words - to secure better Search Engine rankings {who knew, I didn't know Search Engines ranked us}, build Niche Authority {that's another thing I had no idea it did, now I guess I should think mebbe I have a Niche... or Authority?  Winks }, and maximize Engagement. {aha, that sounds like me and a solid reason that Tracks, the rest would be more unintentional Bonuses. LOL}  So, there ya have it, and I doubt anytime soon I'll be changing those Two Habits that annoy folks. {I have many more, Trust me, Smiles}  But, a couple times I tried to minimize the length of my Posts and I absolutely sucked at it coz I'm not the least bit Editorial, not in Real Life and not even in The Land Of Blog either.  It would be a lot of Work and Blogging for me is enjoyable and not Work... if it felt like Work, I'd probably cease doing it coz it would then be hard for me to find enjoyment in it. 

I could end this Post right now and quantify it as a Habit briefly Changed on Purpose.  *LOL*  Just coz I know some Dear Readers would prefer that I did.   And that should be enuf Reason to for at least this Post and Today, but, don't get too used to it.  *Winks*  As for capitalizing the Random Words, I could have done that too, I know how to, I just don't Want to... and so everyone will just have to deal with that one and try not to get too wound up about it.  *Smiles*  Coz I'm not doing it to  upset anyone, I don't even understand why it would or should, but, what annoys us is so personal that we could please some of the people all of the time, all of the people some of the time, but we could never please all of the people all of the time.  That's just a Fact and I'm not known for being a People Pleaser at all... or particularly conforming to what is expected just becoz anyone would tell me I have to, but can't give me any good reasons as to why I even should.  How about you, do you change Habits just coz it bothers some folks?  Why do you suppose you do or should?

*******

So, whaddya think Dear Readers... was this Short Enough?   One outta Two Annoying Habits changed ain't too bad... Ha ha ha
