>but she failed to properly spell and capitalize her OWN company's name.
I am not offended by the lowercase style but I am equally annoyed by spelling and elementary grammer errors by people who should know better.
However, I find the all lowercase style rather pleasing. In fact, there are many corporations re-branding in lowercase.Interesting article: http://www.adherecreative.com/blog/bid/181249/The-Case-for-Lower-Case-A-Rebranding-Conundrum
English is a living language and is constantly evolving or transforming. I am reasonably certain that any written work of this decade would shock and disappoint the average writer of the 19th century.

Agreed! Especially proper nouns and names, initials and acronyms.
