re: #99 theheat

Yes, perhaps if you only ever learned German, or learned English way late in life. But this isn’t a common denominator of the senders of freaky Emails of random capital Letters. I can think of 10 people off the top of my head, and not one of them speaks German, took German in school, or is from Germany, but they all do the crazy random noun capitalization. Each of them is a fundie, wingnut, or both.

I grew up in a German neighborhood. I can’t think of a single German parent of any of my friends that continued capitalizing nouns when writing in English.

Then there’s Cato… man of many tongues. He seems to have a handle on his capitals.

We did, at one time, capitalize nouns in English, although I don’t think we did it as uniformly as it’s done in German.

Is it possible that these folks are imitating the eighteenth century style they see in revolutionary documents?

…the separate and equal station to which Nature and Nature’s God…

Like that?
