I wasn’t sure how to express my gratitude.

It wasn’t bad for the occasional topical jest but holy shit does it make reading feeds painful.

Edit: in no way am I making a statement about code syntax. We don't write documentation in camel case for good reason.

Damn, that second one was tough. I didn't expect to find the word 'eschew' lol

I had to constantly skip back and forth to figure out where one word starts and another ends. Very painful to read, I've found new appreciation for whitespace.

If you go back in time far enough you can find manuscripts from before word separators were standard... they fucking suck.

Surprisingly legible, but feels like I can only read it with momentum, flitting past it and letting my subconscious tell me where the word breaks are. The moment I get confused and look more closely, it becomes almost impossible to read.

I'm surprised how easy that is to read!

Sorry, am on mobile: snarkily replying in some weird letter mashup is far too much effort right now.
