Why do some people capitalize the first letter of every word in a sentence? So That Everything They Write Looks Like This.
I could understand leaving every letter lowercase if you're an ESL student or if you're too lazy to bother with proper grammar, but capitalizing the first letter of every word is more work then doing nothing.
Does anyone know why people do this? Or is this just one of those great questions that will stump philosophers for the ages?
You know, I'm not even sure myself why people type like that, maybe just the force of a bad habit? Although at least they make an effort to use the shift key and spell words correctly.

I Don't Know Why People Type Like That. Wow, Took me like 45 seconds to type the first sentence. I found it hard to capitalize the first letter of every word, I tried using shift and caps and it still felt so weird and time consuming.

I think they do it to annoy people, and apparently it works because if it didn't annoy you, you probably would never have asked. I know some people say just reading it makes their eyes hurt, they're probably exaggerating, BUT, I'm pretty sure it's just to annoy you.
I used to type like that. Sometimes I Have a minor burst like this. It's mostly a habit, learning to capitalize, you then have to learn Not To Capitalize Every Word.

Would you rather read a story of knights and dragons, or be in one?
I'm glad people support my dragon raising. Could I ask for assistance with this one now?
Check out my dragon scroll(http://dragcave.net/user/Heric) if you want to see the dragons I have. I may get more dragons later.
Lol, what a spelling error, curse of the pedant! Thanks for catching that, my op is now dongless.
I'm still on the fence as to whether it's just trolling or a bad habit, most of the people doing it don't seem like trolls (except for a few jokers on this thread :-)). It just seems like such an unintuitive habit to even get into.
I think that they do it just because they don't know any better. They probably think that they are using correct grammer/syntax, or it could possibly just be a force of habit.

This Is A Very Unintuitive Way To Write.
I Think It Makes Them Think They Look Professional.

Or more likely, phones that don't auto-correct and auto-caps properly.
Idk...
Or they are from a foreign country and think that English has capitals in the begginning in every single word.
What if we had a second class of capital letters for extra importance?
LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, I PRESENT TO YOU, MEGA-Q:

If so, do you remember this?:
