    Default Question

    Why Do People Capitalize The First Letter Of Every Word? It's Annoying As Hell And Just Makes You Look Stupid.

    In My Opinion

    Are you talking about in titles, like the thread titles here ? If so, it's because that's the correct way to write a title. With the rather rapid demise of language and the written word, i'm glad to see it's one of the tradtional aspects that's still with us.

    A title looks better written that way, imho.

    Do a search on threads started by me. Initial caps are near and dear to my heart.

    Capitalized titles are a must.

    Capitalizing every word in a sentence puts you on my 'To kick in throat' list.

    IF YOU TYPE YOUR POST IN ALL CAPS LIKE I AM DOING RIGHT NOW, IT AUTOMATICALLY CONVERTS ALL EXCEPT THE FIRST LETTER OF EACH WORD TO LOWER CASE.

    EDIT: WELL IT USED TO DO THIS AT LEAST

    EDIT #2: I AM USING ALL CAPS ON THE FORUM FROM NOW ON. DEAL WITH IT. CAPS LOCK IS HOW I FEEL INSIDE, RICK.
