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.
