It seems the general public has forgotten the very simple concept of proper nouns. More and more, I notice text in which “Everyone” and his “Brother” insist on capitalizing words for emphasis. Remember proper nouns? Those were the words you weren’t allowed to use in Scrabble. Interestingly enough, much of the improperly capitalized verbiage is found in self-descriptive paragraphs. “Let me be your Agent. I am Experienced. Call Me Today.” A block of text written like one big headline leaves me thinking: don’t believe everything you read.

Unless you’re describing a person with a highly regarded title or political position, or a god or deity, please lay off the capitals. It makes me Crazy.
