Capitalization Makes Everything More Important!

I am currently Reading some Academic Documents for purposes I will not Reveal in order to protect the Innocently Irritated. I'm pretty sure the Section I'm looking at is not from My Institution, so I feel Justified in mocking It.

I believe that my favorite part is where the Writers capitalize Certain Words that the Writers believe to be Important in order to give them Emphasis they do not deserve. For example, the word "Reviewers" should not be capitalized unless that is the Proper Name of a group of People, which I Doubt. In addition, if I am giving someone Feedback, there is no reason to assume that it is so important that it Needs to be Treated like a Proper Name. Also, if I have Strategies and plans, then either both are proper names of some copyrighted phrase and they should both be capitalized, or neither of them should be Capitalized. In any case, capitalization of proper names should be Consistent.

I must say that I am enjoying this Academic Work because it is Teaching me new and interesting Guidelines for the Capitalization Rules, if for no other reason than that it Proves what I've always Believed to be True. Academic Organizations that are in charge of Regulation have really Nothing Better to do than trademark Key Terms and then use them to Create a sense of Importance that they do not deserve.

I'm glad to know that the Future is in such Capable Hands. Such Innovation is Key to a Successful Future.

Steve does this ALL THE TIME! (Or did this all the time, I'm slowly breaking him of it.) It drives/drove me nuts.

Good to know I'm not the only one with this pet peeve.

Maybe "The Reviewers" is the name of a speed metal band.
