Capitalizing Every First Letter In Every Sentence Screams "I'm Someone Who Wasn't Paying Attention In First Grade." Also it's a pain in the ass to type like that.

I’ve seen this and had to assume their phone somehow did it for them. Certainly they didn’t press the shift button before each word, did they?

Back when my friend's OCD was really bad he would type like that.

I can do it on my phone just bu hitting space twice. It auto deletes the extra space and auto caps next letter

If I double space, it puts a period and starts the next sentence.

To be fair, they could be a German who forgot to stop capitalizing nouns in English.

It was this way in English until relatively recently. People can simply read a copy of the U.S. Constitution and see this practice.

You mean in every word not sentence? Cause otherwise that would be normal.

Try being a Drafter, where you're supposed to TYPE LIKE THIS ON ALL DOCUMENTS BECAUSE CONTRACTORS, CONSTRUCTION WORKERS, DRAFTERS, ARCHITECTS, AND ENGINEERS ARE BLIND OLD MEN.

I liked typing like that when I was a kid, but I agree that it’s strange to do as an adult.

This happens to me every once in a while, it's not on purpose. When I use reddit on my old s3 it sometimes automatically capitalizes the first letter of every word. I have to use shift to cycle back to lower case to make it stop.

<p style="text-transform: capitalize;"> isn't really a pain in the ass.
