idea

capitalizing the first letter of every sentence is unnecessary and we should stop. it would be better if the capitals came to be used occasionally to indicate vocal emphasis within sentences, since much of the tone of a spoken sentence can be carried in this attribute, and since increasingly so much of our communication is being done without the aid of the voice. this would help sarcasm especially,

e.g. “That’s really smart” vs. “that’s Really smart.” 

more subtle than the all-caps approach and more useful than the medieval rule we’ve been using. i’ve actually been doing this in my own writing for years now, which is probably why no one’s responding to my resume.
