One of the reasons I started a nonprofit: I would kill to be able to pool some money and ACTUALLY buy some billboards in our red state with ACTUAL messages that work, see what happens. The Dems sure as fuck haven't tried it. My nonprofit got its first 5-figure grant this summer, so watch this space, it may yet happen.

Knowing musk instead of a fruit diet like Jobs, he'd probably try fucking a cantaloupe to cure his cancer.

I hope it hollowsnhim out from the inside and he has to pour all of his money into experimental medical research only to have everyone around him funnel his money to their own projects instead while he is wheeled around like helper from venture brothers.

His grandfather couldn’t come back to Germany because he dodged the draft and went to Alaska to traffic women and children to miners

What rhyme or reason was this capitalization based on?

2

Title case.

Most of the important words get capitalized, but articles and prepositions stay lower case.

No

83% of the capitals should be lowercase

Is English your first language? The rule is you can capitalize all the words except the articles like the, a, etc. You're very angrily and confidently wrong on this.

Holy moly, you went kinda hard at that other user, whilst holding only partial understanding yourself. It's like a movie, 'The Mysterious Case of the Overconfident Corrector' or some such.

  1. There are more casing rules besides 'TC (Title casing) and SC (Sentence casing) in English grammar.

  2. They are the most popular because both Chicago MLA and APA feature distinct rules for when to use them in the types of writing they cover.

  3. There is no authority, grammatical or legal, that governs the usage of casing rules across the English language itself. They are determined by the bodies of authority in the medium they are being published. (e.g. No one polices which to use in coding. Google uses one, Apple another, etc).

  4. Like any other style guidelines, the ostensible purpose for selecting one casing rule over another is to achieve a desired readability effect. Here is an example article going into how each one feels when using in UX design: https://uxplanet.org/why-letter-casing-is-important-to-consider-during-design-decisions-50402acd0a4e.

  5. I agree with the other commenter's spirit. They chose poorly for a billboard, imo, and sentence casing would produce a faster and more retainable read.

I'm not angry lol

And also that only applies in a title, this isn't a title, it's a sentence

It was probably written by a 65-75 year old American. It was once the style. I run into people who still use it but they're always in that age range.

They do look a bit thin. Not that that is a sign of AI. Just something off in the digital design.

I can't believe how easily people are fooled
