What's up with those random capitalizations?
It's for emphasis, most likely. Italics would have been the more common option, but it still gets the point across this way.
I sincerely thought she was referencing song titles, so I'm gonna have to slightly disagree that it DOES get the point across 😄
My first thought was it's some kind of code. But BMHGADHD doesn't ring any bells nor any anagram solvers yield any result
I love that you ran it through an anagram solver. Insane
A habit from playing online riddles, I guess, to run everything strange through ROT13 and anagram solver. Should've been obvious that it'd be fruitless, though, given that there's only one vowel.
Only one vowel because you didn't include all the I's ;)
It's just jarring which is why it has emphasis. I feel like people don't give a shit about grammar anymore. Commas are in random places, and no one knows what a proper noun is.
It's not bad grammar, it's more like an internet dialect. Reminds me of fantasy books that capitalise special nouns
Or comics, who use the mechanism ubiquitously
I hate it. Makes me think it was referencing like song titles or titles of some other media
I've seen it a lot on the internet, used for emphasis in a different way than italics.
It feels closer to bold but I couldn't find anything online about it
(aside from a wikipedia page offhandedly calling it 'capitalization for signification')
minor note
the parenthesized text is meant to go with the previous blurb but it was hard for me to read (the 'wall of text' effect) so I separated it
