Someone thought I was a bot because I use punctuation and capitalization. Is that weird?

First poor grammar and spelling was a soft flag of a potential scammer, and now this. Man how the times have changed.

I remember seeing some research indicating that people who didn't punctuate their texts were seen as more sincere and trustworthy, no explanation why though, so yeah that's not unheard of

yes, I got that recently as well...

I think people have come to associate proper grammar with ChatGPT and other text generators
