I am not a fan of random capital letters.

There is a line in the book and movie "Paper Towns" where the main character talks about how she is a fan of random capital letters. In the book, and in the movie she writes with capital letters peppered through out her words, sometimes every first letter of a word being a capital or sometimes right in the middle of the word. It was cute in the movie, and helped explain more about the character.
I was reminded of this because I have seen some posts here where every beginning letter of a word for the whole discussion/post are capital, and it drives me crazy. Don't people take any care to writing, even if it is online? I mean I know I make mistakes when I write as well. I'm not in anyway shape or form saying that I don't, but people should at least make an effort when writing online or anywhere for that matter and write so that it is at least done a little correctly.
Anybody else get annoyed by things like this?

@thislittlepennyearns , yes they can be! That is what most headings they have! And we normally used to use this type of Headings when we were in College under the guidance of our Professors! I have used that in my Thesis!

@AKRao24 Yes but you are also in a different country, so they are different. I was never told that all words in my headings of college or high school papers had to start with capital letters.

I use capital letters in proper context. I never noticed what you are referring to but perhaps I don't read those posts.

Or you just don't get annoyed at it as I do.
I would hope that you use them in the proper context, you are old enough to have the rules of writing drilled into your head.
