Capital Formality
November 29th, 2006I was thinking one morning in school and an odd idea crossed my mind, “What if Capital letters were nothing more than a formality.”
This thought was perfectly confusing to me. The mere idea that something we were taught in 3rd grade was so important was nothing more than smoke and mirrors to force us into the formality setup for us by our predecessors, caused immediate panic.* I found it odd that we were taught the immediate importance of capitalizing the beginning of sentences, names, important places, and religious figureheads when none of it is really necessary.
