The great thing about language is that it changes over time.

eg the past decade has seen us remove “that” as a qualifier, and the word literally has become interchangeable with figuratively.

its worth considering whether you’re just losing touch…

The latter didn’t happen just in the last decade, and the former hasn’t happened at all.

But no, I can pretty confidently say that the English language still has capitalization and punctuation in it, it’s mostly just on Twitter and in AI-related blog posts where people write like this.
