    What is this headline? Fucking garble. Every word capitalized, reads like shit. All the headlines are written in this weird way lately

        For me it’s the Swift boating, certainly when it’s with capitalization and a space. It makes me think they somehow went on a cruise on Taylor Swift’s private yacht.

        It’s a prime example of why the headline capitalization is not great.

          Hundreds of years of years of journalistic tradition should be trashed, because you thought Talking Points Memo was talking about Taylor Swift?

          What next, are you going to get confused reading about Watergate in history books, because you thought a gate that holds water is a dam?

          Good lord, we are a failed society…

            If you don’t know that rather obscure reference the sentence turns into a garden path one.

            I’m not even a American native so how should I know. Watergate I grok, this I’ve not heard of

            If you give up on society this easy i think you are the problem, though.
