a writing convention for the AI era
lowercase
with intention
dreamerCase is a writing convention and lightweight tool for people who want their writing to feel intentional, literate, and recognizably human.
capitalization is earned
somewhere along the way, default formatting became invisible. every sentence starts with a capital letter — not because anyone decided it should, but because the machine does it automatically.
in the age of AI-generated text, machine-polished prose, and autocorrected everything, the default has become a kind of camouflage. writing that follows every rule looks the same whether a person wrote it or a model did.
dreamerCase is a small, deliberate divergence from that default. it removes automatic sentence capitalization while preserving everything that matters: proper nouns, acronyms, punctuation, spelling, and clarity.
the result is writing that feels more intentional. more human. slightly less automatic. not sloppy — controlled. not rebellious — just awake.
"the capital C in dreamerCase matters. it signals that capitalization is earned, not automatic."
the convention
how it works
dreamerCase has simple, clear rules. nothing ambiguous, nothing sloppy.
lowercase everything by default
sentence starts, common words, even "I" — nothing gets automatic capitalization.
preserve proper nouns
names, places, brands, and other proper nouns keep their capitals. they earned them.
preserve acronyms
all-caps words like NASA, AI, and API remain unchanged.
lowercase "i"
the pronoun "I" becomes "i" — capitalization is earned, not grammatically automatic.
the capital C
dreamerCase keeps its capital C. it signals that capitalization here is intentional.
clarity over novelty
readability and meaning always come first. this is intentional, not sloppy.
