Capitalization chameleon

I am a chameleon. When I chat with people online, and to a lesser degree when I text them, I find myself mimicking their capitalization and punctuation. If they don’t capitalize at all, neither do I. If they do, I do. If they don’t end their sentences in periods, I don’t either. If they do, I do. And most of the time I don’t realize I’ve switched until a few sentences later.

I don’t know what this means.
