Email: A capital idea [AS]

I have to be more strict in writing emails at work (lest [others mis]take my failure to use strict style) but I actually favor the leveling of contractions, hyphenation and capitalization into all-lower-case prose -- and the prevalence of runon sentences -- in email. It feels more natural, you can type it one-handed and besides, email is meant to be fast and informal. I like e e cummings too.
