What is the origin of capitalization. Is upper and lower case really a reference to cases full of printing press letters?
"I Wish Headlines Didn't Capitalise Every Word" - fixed that for you.
Why does it bother you so much?
Because when I read a headline like "Power Worth Less Than Zero Spreads as Green Energy Floods the Grid (bloomberg.com)" I'm like... wait, is "Zero Spreads" the name of a company, or "Green Energy", or "Energy Floods"? It just takes a lot longer to process.
