      Those caps are meant to affect the way you read it.

      In this post, the capital letters (plus the “How To”) suggest a title, like a book or something.

      I hate it more when People do it with just a few Words, arbitrarily.

      It’s like they saw a Smart Person do it to Make A Point, and then they decided to just Do It All The Time.

        On the flip side of that, it tickles me when people capitalize some Meaningful Words as if they’re Super Important Noun Phrases.

        Almost Looks like a Page out of the Constitution (or pretty much Any Text from that era).

        Perhaps they’re harkening to that.

        I think ‘peeve’ is more American because it’s modern American-informal from ‘peevish’ so it’s not caught on much in other countries. You’d probably.also be confused by ‘pet aversion’ which is actually the original and popular term, with a pet hate being the most slack of the two pets.

        Edit: Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say “peeve” in any other context, even Americans.
