no caps

several people have emailed me asking why i do not use capitalization on my blog. in general, i feel that capitalization is usually a superfluous formality demarking the kind of respect and deference that is rarely deserved and in other situations (such as at the beginning of a sentence) is just plain unnecessary.

there are circumstances in which i’ll use caps here. certain terms dealing with Christianity will be capitalized, as a symbol of obeisance to my religion. when quoting i respect the author’s wishes, so when you see direct quotes here they will have capitalization as well.

i use capitalization during the day for my job, but this blog is all mine and i can do with it what i please! and i please not to use caps. just call me the george bernard shaw of the capital letter. but not a man. or famous.
