Capitalization

Whenever I read self-help/spiritual type books, I find it incredibly distracting/annoying when certain words are capitalized. Such examples include Oneness and Being and Essence. Bleh. It just makes the book seem so hokey. I mean I guess I get what the author is trying to do, but to me it's just distracting. I like to save capitalization for the beginning of sentences and proper nouns.

ASIDE: I'm not huge into the self-help type of literature, but every once in awhile it makes me stop being so stressed about silly little things, so I find that's good.

In a somewhat related note, I am that person on the current Stuff White People Like entry-the grammar freak. Grammatical errors are the first thing I notice when reading something. I think it's the engineer in me. To continue this stream of thought, I find I can relate all too well to many of the SWPL (sorry got lazy) blog entries. I just realized I also like to capitalize abbrievations/acronyms. I feel that that is acceptable. Also, once I throw myself out there as a grammar nut, I am now more aware/worried about people being more judgemental of my errors. Then I realize that the only people who would do that were probably already judging me anyways, so it's no big deal after all. See what the self-help books have taught me? Don't sweat the small stuff. ;) Easy in theory; hard in practice. I'm working on it though. Now I should get back to work.
