Roar goes the grammar monster...

I've been seeing this a lot lately:

Some people decide to capitalize Random words or believe that every Noun should have a capital Letter in to start it.

Or Even Worse, Every Letter Must Be Capitalized.

Want an example? I'll give you examples if you wanna see 'em. And don't flame me for this, just don't do it

Heh, Darwin, I think that might be a language thing. German, for instance, does capitalize nouns. I think that may be some people's excuse

I sometimes do that when I'm tired or think a word should be captalized when it shouldn't (hey no one said I'm smart).

If you ever catch me doing that just smack me with a large trout or something.

I am too lazy to italicize, so when i capitalize a word it is meant to sound as if I was raising my voice, or stressing the word. So, Darwin. Stop BUGGING me about it!

The only thing worse is 'Malt-o-Meal'(tm).

Ok, I'm guilty of Possible Unnecessary Capitalization. I do this for Comic Effect. Capitalization also makes Important Looking Words seem more important.

I do it all the time sometimes that is. People ask Me if I am German, lol.

Sorry if it bothers People.

Most everyone that is around Me for a while starts to expect it.
