Could someone please explain to me why All The Words In Posts On William Shatner's Blog Have Initial Caps? Weird enough to read about the man boast about selling a kidney stone for $75,000, but to read it with the first letter of every word in every post capitalized is really kind of upsetting, in a visceral way. Posts and comments both. The only explanation I can muster is that it must have something to do with his signature stilted acting style.

I Like Your Conjecture About Its Relation To His Acting Style, But The Reality Is Probably Less Interesting -- It Looks Like All The Text On The Site Is Being Run Through Some Kind Of Filtering Script To Change Its Case, Perhaps Unintentionally. Notice How It's Capitalizing The Letter After Every Apostrophe, Too -- "Bill'S" and "I'M" Are Unlikely Mistakes For Even The Most Egotistical Human To Make While Typing.
My Shift-Key Finger Hurts Now.
