Is it used to make headlines/posts more catchy? Does it have any logical explanation? What Is The Origin Of That?
minus-squareScrollone@feddit.itlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·11 months agoOP is probably not English. Other languages have different rules. For example, in Italian book titles only have the first word capitalized, e.g.: “I promessi sposi”
