you are right on both points.

there is a term for your latter point:

poetic licence:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artistic_license

aside: I realize i also kind of applied artistic licence in my comment here :), by not capitalizing the first words of my sentences, partly because feeling a bit lazy (on my mobile, typing is tedious and slow enough, even without switching case), and partly because I think single case (no concept of upper and lower case) is a better option.

sanskrit, for example, does not have upper and lower case, just one case, or maybe none.

go figure, er, i mean, go letter ;)
