I'm convinced some people deliberately de-capitalise the first letter of a message. Your phone literally starts on a capital automatically. Why are you doing that?

Also, given that phone typing software can recognise all sorts of things, how hard is it for them to automatically de-capitalise the first letter of any email you type in?
Some people routinely press Shift to get a capital letter at the start of a sentence. If the phone auto-capitalises, pressing shift negates that and you end up with a lowercase letter.
"My phone" is too dam' fiddly to use as a tripewriter; and my PCs merely *suggest* with wiggly underlines, rather than autocorrecting and autocapitalising.
Also, eg, rUSSIA. Because unpropering a proper noun is insulting.
This irks me too as it's pure affectation, but you can change your phone settings so it doesn't capitalise automatically - people probably aren't de-capitalising their messages manually.
If you start writing and then edit deleting the first word, it doesn't recapitalise. Trying to get the cursor in between 2 letters to fix is demanding better fine motor skills than my thumbs can offer.
