Ima have to do that.
Okay, but make sure it's a kevlar sandwich board. Those machines look pretty dangerous.
Man, just ascend already.

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.
you don't get people with "WHEAT IS MURDER" sandwich boards chaining themselves to threshing machines
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 wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
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.

yep, 9 yo Willow Smith signed to Jay-Z's label. Really annoying song, totally getting airplay to the tween audience.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, in slide presentations you should be animating all the important words so they flash and dance around. Right?
