First, let me say that, sooner or later, we all commit intermittent grammatical or typographical errors when we write. I am sure I am as guilty of that as any.

But, lately, a particular systematic error seems to be very popular for some folks in setting after setting. Here is an example from a post here (and no offense intended to the OP, but it is a perfect example):

"...outlets like a Motorcycle Exhaust And Put a Baffle in them. But to Find a Baffle! The Closest I could find was..."

You've surely spotted it - random capitalized words in a sentence, perhaps based on some unknown logic. Are these words that seem so important to the author that we need to disregard the normal process of writing English? I have no idea. Where did this tendency start?

I'll bet some will say "so what." But when you stop caring about the relatively little things in life (and these errors wouldn't be considered little in any formal writing scenario), then eventually the big things suffer, too. Can the language be saved? Or are we inevitably creeping into the "Idiocracy" scenario?
