Why Does Everyone Capitalise Every Letter
Posted by on May 12, 2021 at 10:36 amWhy do a lot of website, mostly American, capitalise every letter of their titles? Does it help? I don’t think it looks right but so many do it I guess there’s a reason?
E.g. this type of title
– Apple are set to release their new phone next week
looks better than this type
– Apple Are Set To Release Their New Phone Next Week
​
yet 9/10 websites choose the latter

Because that’s how you write a title

It’s just English rules my dude. It’s not an American thing. Find any respectable English newspaper and they’ll do it too. There are even websites to help you know which words to capitalise.

Didn’t we learn this in 2nd grade English class to capitalize every letter in a title that wasn’t a fluff letter?

When you learned English, what were you taught to do with titles? The phenomenon you are pointing out is just correct English.

I actually do this in Swedish, even if it’s incorrect, just to stand out of the crowd and because so many American sites do it. In Sweden we consumed just as much, if not more, American content as Swedish country across all mediums.
