On Random Capitalizations
One Concerned Dear Reader wrote me, wondering about my ability to teach my children Proper English when they have noticed that I appear to Randomly capitalize words in this journal. It Amuses me to No End to do so. I take Joy and Amusement whereever I find it..."It's my journal and I'll capitalize where I want to, where I want to":::humming to the old fifties hit....
I am well aware that only the beginning of sentences and proper nouns should be capitalized. Right before I started writing my journal online I read a Pulitzer award winning diary of a midwife from the 1700's. She was a Capable and Admirable woman and writer who wrote before English had been standardized. I found it charming and decided that I would indulge myself.
so there
