If you buy a few of these then you could put one at the beginning of your sentences.
i would do, but it really makes no difference to how you read a sentence, so i don't bother. saves wear & tear on the shift and caps lock key.
incorrectly spelled words, however, change the context of what you're reading. you can't start throwing in rogue letters that don't belong there and just hope that people read it correctly. i don't even understand how people spell 'bought' as 'brought'. too many letters. shirly you'd expect it to be mis-spelled with fewer letters if anything.
anyway, i digress. whether or not i capitalise my sentences makes no odds. not being able to spell or adding letters to words to make them completely different words does.helpful tips

Maybe you should concentrate on your own spelling of words before you start berating someone else

Adding incorrect apostrophes is just as bad.

Not nitpicking. Simply pointing out blatant hypocrisy . You are complaining about something but doing exactly the same thing yourself.0 -
We took a digital camera back with a fault. The store staff said they will send it to the repair dept for inspection but "don't expect a replacement because it's usually because the item has been dropped"
He admitted that he was not an expert, argument followed. Unfortunately when they send these things away for inspection you are totally in thier hands.0 -
