I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

sumi, I'm no expert but when I've paid attention, I've seen that it is the nouns that are capitalized in 18th c. English language writing so I do believe that's a holdover from English's German roots.

Happy birthday, Sue!

I'm already starting to look forward to visiting the Bay Area in 10 days. I really need to get productive here and not just stay in limbo because I hate it here and I'm going someplace nicer in 10 days, though...

Pooh Case is grammatically incorrect and does not belong in business communication.

Oh, I have totally different rules for business communication vs posting here. Pooh Caps in a business email would be inappropriate.

Pooh Case is grammatically incorrect and does not belong in business communication. You aren't going to shake me of that.

Okay, fair point. Pooh Case does not belong in business comunication.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Even at the extreme whackjob end of the fad diet spectrum, you don't get people with "WHEAT IS MURDER" sandwich boards chaining themselves to threshing machines

Ahahahaha!

Ima have to do that.

Okay, but make sure it's a kevlar sandwich board. Those machines look pretty dangerous.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I do believe that's a holdover from English's German roots.

I refuse to believe that unless the person capitalises all nouns. I just think it's sloppy. And it's rarely just nouns.

It seems to be especially prevalent in slide presentations. And I wonder why I spend time getting all anxious about making sure all my bullet points are either terminated with a period or not.

Of course, I just numbered a point 3' in my current slide show, so I am really performing for an audience of one.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

But they should! Wheat ain't the only thing getting threshed, IJS.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It is totally wrong in business communication.

I definitely wasn't talking about nowadays, ita. I was just addressing what I thought sumi was asking about 18th c. English usage. There are definite rules for capitalization nowadays.

FYI, those won't stop blades. Kevlar stops bullets because it halts their rotation and stops their penetration. Won't work with thresher blades.
