Me too. I always feel vaguely rude/dismissive when I use them, because I'd never type that way. It's a very jarring product decision, given that Claude itself uses perfect capitalization and punctuation.

No idea why they did it. My only guess is that maybe it makes it obvious in your chat history which replies were recommendations?

Typing in lowercase is rude/dismissive? Many many many people chat that way and I don’t think it’s typical for people to find it rude

(I am on my phone so autocorrect is doing the capitalizing)

		I grew up on IRC and that was just the way to talk, so it seems totally normal to me for async chat-based stuff. Actually, it’s odd, when someone uses proper capitalization on chat, it feels all “formal.”
