Why do people capitalize Random words in their sentences these days?
My Favorite Is People That Capitalize The First ~~Word~~ Letter Of Every ~~Letter~~ Word For No Reason.
First word of every letter?
Also I believe this is because some text fields are accidentally recognized as name inputs? It seems to happen automatically for my friends sometimes.
I think I was so focused on making sure to capitalize correctly that I got scrambled.
Boomers have done it for years as a lazy erratic way to emphasize words, seemingly because of all the accumulated lead setting in, and boomer heroes like Trump do it all the time, normalizing it further.
Seriously, shit is annoying.
