Can We Please Stop Editorial Capitalising Titles - It Is Super Annoying And Adds No Value Nor Does It Make Your Blog More Distinguished.

[–] JayleneSlide@lemmy.world 22 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Totally weird possibility: the author is ~~following the actual grammar rules~~ trying poorly to follow a style guide for capitalization of titles.

Edit: as @hikaru755@lemmy.world pointed out, I totally missed that words were capitalized for which no style guide advises capitalization.

[–] hikaru755@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

If they were, "are", "of" and "and" likely wouldn't be capitalized.

Also, "the actual grammar rules" are not a thing. There are lots of different style guides for how to capitalize titles, there's no generally accepted "correct" version like there is for most of orthography or regular grammar (but almost all of them have in common to not capitalize the words I mentioned before)

If they were, “are”, “of” and “and” likely wouldn’t be capitalized.

Yep, you're right. I missed those.

There are lots of different style guides

I was reluctant to say anything about Chicago, APA, etc.

But it's a title...

I honestly hadn't even noticed, so I'm surprised it bothered you so much. But I guess I get grumpy about other random bullshit sometimes...

While I agree its not adding anything, I don't get why one gets upset about titlecase for blog post titles. I mean its not like something making it less readable or less indexable or anything like that. So why even ask to stop doing it? Or does it do any harm I'm not aware off (even if its for readable reasons in your opinion). I personally prefer normal case for titles as well, but that is just a preference of mine, not because I see any benefit in doing so.

[–] fonix232@fedia.io 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's annoying to read. That's why.

[–] thingsiplay@beehaw.org 1 points 3 months ago

Sure, I would understand it if its longer text.
