I check my internal world and it seems I had some programming in my mind saying, “oh, this is immature.” I wonder why this is and realize that one of the big things I had done recently to cause the shift is to agree to be “standard, typing the ‘right’ way, type how I am ‘supposed’ to. be ‘correct,’ etc.” I was in group-mind, and that mind was saying I must be “mature, etc.”. Upon further reflection I realized that it is not nessessary to conform for the sake of the status quo especially if that means taking on a value system that isn’t mine and it doesn’t hurt anybody if I don’t do that.

If that’s not too ultra-conformist an activity for your free spirit. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dudes-of-straight-dope-if-i-type-in-proper-english/668899)._
