Capitalizing all letters only makes sense if you’re quoting an actual news article headline, like from the New York Times or wherever. But capitalizing the first letter of every word makes reading the sentence stilted and hard to read, so should be avoided whenever possible
if it’s short and not in a sentence format, it makes sense as well. For example, if you’re posting a pet photo, “My Dog is a Doofus” looks weird. but “Cat Burglar” doesn’t.
No that still looks wrong, because now it looks like that’s a proper noun
Yeah, I agree with you on this. The communities that force the title to be the same as the article are the only places mine are ever capitalized like that. It makes no sense to do that if you’re making a statement or asking a question.
I go both ways (giggity).
If it’s a headline or news article, I’ll title case it.
If I’m posting a question or a statement, I’ll use regular sentence case since it’s easier to read.
Because It’s Clumsy And Annoying To Read
The only people I know who do it are 60s and up and they also do it when it’s inappropriate. I would have capitalized all of these words for effect, but fuck that.
Because it’s not 1860
Shit. Then when am I?
This is a Wendy’s sir.
But when is Wendy’s?
Wendysday

People can generally track when Wendy’s is by the constellations on the horizon. That or candles or something, I wasn’t really paying attention.
I just read that one!
Then can I get a small vanilla frosty?
It would depend on if you intend it as a more traditional title or just a subject heading to get someone’s attention, like asking for help with something.
I do because most of my posts tonally benefit from it. Non capitalized to me seems too casual, not to say it doesn’t ever have a place.
Also I feel capitalization reaffirms that the title is just a title and the post has more information beyond it.
I don’t because people will think i am shouting when i am not.
instinct
I don’t tend to. Maybe I’m not a big fan of capitalism?
my pinkies havent been on speaking terms with the rest of my hand since the geranium incident. they refuse to do the work.
Geranium Incident?
I feel like this is some sort of spy thriller.
It was after The Marigold Dilemma
The world will never know how close it came to ending, the day of the… Geranium Incident!
“It all began with a sticky caps lock”
Please can someone tell me if this thread gets to the point where we learn what the Geranium Incident was?
It’s what started the Second Tulip Crisis
no
just no
please
Depends on length. Fun fact: in most Spanish-speaking countries, only the first letter of the first word is capitalized for things like movie titles and posters. Learning that really made me think twice about how trigger-happy I get with capitalization.
