Have You Noticed...

[BrianTheElder]

Have you noticed that all the thread titles now seem to be forced into US title case, ie every single word is capitalised?
I think it looks daft.

 

[BrianTheElder]

PS it has already changed my title above...

Why Do You Think That Is Daft?

It' just so ancient. No-one uses this in the UK anymore, just look at any newspaper or book. Anyway, I think it is very rude to correct my perfectly good grammar.

 

[Daibell]

I think it works quite well when searching for keywords in the title which is what I do.

I went to grammar school - ever since 'boldly go' I have accepted that Americans only appear to speak a form of English.

 

[Prem51]

And their President speaks a form of English only recognised by himself!

I hadn’t noticed because that’s the way I write titles anyway. I was taught that way at school many moons ago. A quick look at the titles on my book shelf confirms that I was taught correctly

Yes, my books are the same, apart from small words like "the" "and" "a" etc. I can't remember what we were taught at school, it is far too long ago.

I realise there are opinions on this, so why not leave it up to the poster? Why change what is perfectly acceptable and in common use?

Same here, but I have noticed if you put two upper case initials in the title such as HP, it will put it as Hp which is a pita.

Looking down the recent posts just now it seems there is a mix of upper and lower case words there.

My wife said that we would have less arguments if I wasn't so pedantic. I said "l think you mean fewer arguments".

That's how I first noticed, I put in GP and it came out Gp. There does seem to be a mix, but all mine seem to get converted.

It's the chinese spammers behind it all, tipetoo, they've just figured out more ways to mess with your head...

It does not do that in latest version 2.010 of the Xen Foro forum software.

I put a space in between them now when I want something in upper case H P.
