Random capitalization makes me crazy. It’s everywhere. Menus, office Signs, Blog postings, ads, even newspapers.
WTf?
I can understand poor grammar. And even though it makes me cringe, I’ve come to accept misspelled words as the bastard child of an outcome-based education system and the proliferation of a text/im society. But where do Kids learn to capitalize so poorly? Probably from their Teachers who probably learned from their Teachers. Hell, with the way English is taught in most schools today, it’s a wonder we can still communicate with the written Word.
And it’s not just kids. Go on a web site, read a professional letter or pick up a brochure. Bet you can find more than a few capitalization blunders.
