It bothers me to an absurdely strong degree that random words are capitalized.

[–] Classy@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not random. They are capitalizing words for emphasis, similarly to if they said it as big of me or hold grudges — using title case like that also makes it seem like it's a sort of monolithic idea worthy of a formal noun, like Always remember to Brush Your Teeth!

Even then...those are weird parts of the sentence to emphasize.

The way I read it, being the bigger person and holding grudges are ideas that are so ingrained in society that they treated them like proper nouns for emphasis. Which seems appropriate for a meme-y delivery format like a tweet. Sort of like Patriot Caps, but less haphazard and more self-aware.

Yeah, it's weird but not as weird when you notice that only the keywords have the first letters capitalized.
