When I write trump all in lower case

Last edited Sun Apr 19, 2026, 03:52 AM - Edit history (1)

It's intentional. I don't think of him as human so I make him a thing. I refuse to make him a proper noun.


Sometimes with me it's just laziness, but not in the trump case.

Kinda forget when I started, but it seemed like the right thing to do.

- case doesn't matter -

everyone knows exactly what it stands for and who it is. (I usually use upper case because, you know, shouting)

I am still mad at TSF for removing an otherwise useful word ("trump" the verb, not the subhuman blob of flesh) from it's rightful place in the English language. Although it is by far among the very least of his bad actions.

He doesn't deserve the effort it takes me to capitalize his name. Unless, of course, I use Comrade DonnySHITShis Pants.
