Spaceless Writing

Writing each word starting with a capital letter, not leaving a space between words, and capitalizing the article "a" and starting the following word with a lower-case letter.
The sentence Spot Tricks wrote and which moved him to propose "Spaceless Writing" to UrbanDictionary.com's editors was: "SpacesBetweenWords—AndWordsAndPunctuationMarks—AreUnnecessary." In spaceless writing (SW), the article "a" is capitalized and all the letters of the word following it are written in lower-case. Spaceless Writing saves space, time, energy, and money. It's the best writing style to use on "Twitter".

Consumer Self-Isolation

To get consumers to go buy things,

via the media,
corporations make individuals feel

so superior to most people

they feel disgusted of others

and stop interacting with them.
The glorification of movie stars, and the innate—it seems—cognitive bias that makes everyone think they're better than almost everyone else, help induce "consumer self-isolation".

corelate

Who added the second "r" to the word "corelate" to make it "correlate"?

Does anyone or anything benefit from that addition?
Was it best to do so?
I am certain the second "r" confuses and is unnecessary.

romance is a business

Romantic relationships are a business because every man and every woman in a romantic relationship does all they can to get the most from the other person and give much or little in return. (Dear Urban Dictionary Staff: This definition and the sentence below are edits to my original post)
ROMANCE IS A BUSINESS because many people who fall in love start giving the most they can to the person they fell in love with without asking for something in return, the true purpose at the core of falling in love is always to at some point get or take the most from the person they fell in love with.
