Notice how every word in the second-to-last sentence of the first post is capitalized, and how a lack of capitalization is the default. This is to add emphasis and meaning in a way I can't quite describe. Like there's a big difference between referring to someone as "the boy" and "The Boy", but I can't explain it.
