why does anyone even bother with capitalization. i feel like we know which words are important if we can read. is it just for people who can't read? i mean, punctuation actually changes the meanings and inflections of a sentence, but capitalization is just this thing that wants me to pay attention to some words more than others, and that's lame because words are all of equal vitality.
actually i think the traditional way of capitalization places importance on words that are either at the beginning of a sentence (which are not always that important) or also the names of things/people that are of high social standing. where as i find it more useful to use it for emphasis, in the same way you might use bold or italics, but more reliable in case bold and italics are not available
