'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
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.
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.
but make sure it's a kevlar sandwich board. Those machines look pretty dangerous.
FYI, those won't stop blades. Kevlar stops bullets because it halts their rotation and stops their penetration. Won't work with thresher blades.

Maybe plate armor?
my mom totally does the Random Capitalization thing in sentences and i've been trying to break her of it. sadly, i think i'm wasting my time.
This kind of baffles me, because I've never heard of anyone foregoing gluten for non-medical reasons*. And in some cases, the answer to "Is it going to kill you?" would be "YES THAT IS WHY IT'S CALLED AN ALLERGY YOU JACKASS."
I get the impression that most people who forego gluten are intolerant to it not allergic. It's not actually going to kill them, it will just make them feel bad. (Which, of course, is a totally valid reason for not eating it!)
