Boomer capitalization Detected, where words are capitalized for arbitrarily chosen Emphasis with no academic considerations because only wokes care about Literacy.
Don't you Know? The more Words you capitalize In the middle of your sentences, the More Academic and therefore Correct you Are!
Might also just not have English as a first language. My autocorrect does the same when I write English on it
I see it enough on clearly WASPy boomer small business tyrant printout signs that say stuff like "because ❄ Snowflakes ❄ want Everything handed to them and dont want to Work anymore the price of our combo lunch special is up $0.10. Thank a liberal Today!!!! 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Oh yeah for sure, I don't know why your boomers do it, but I'd just like to say that when you encounter users doing it here for example, it might also just be that they're not Anglos.
Out of curiosity, what language capitalizes words like this? I know German capitalizes every noun, but this post seems arbitrary in the way it uses uppercase letters.
I honestly don't know, my phone does it for english, but it doesn't do it for my native language - because we don't do it in Danish. I think it's just some sort of "foreigner" setting inherent to a lot of keyboards on phones
So your keyboard makes you type with an accent? lmao
Almost as bad as the ones that CAPITALISE random WORDS in a SENTENCE like they're writing the a clickbait YouTube TITLE.
Ever heard chud radio when a chud is driving somewhere? It's even spoken like that.
Chud radio hosts in the UK are all inbred aristocrats, they all speak with recieved pronounciation because they think it makes them sound smart.
It's like that here in Burgerland, too, especially on words of reverence or hatred, such as THE SHERIFFS, LAW AND ORDER, THE CRIMINAL THUGS, and so on.
And the angrier they are the louder that emphasis seems get, right?
Like the rest of the
is just connective tissue holding together the things they're incandescent with rage over.
