I found this headline to be strongly garden path. Didn't we used to quote proper nouns when they didn't appear to be nouns? "Rent the Runway" https://en.wikipe

  It's a title and initial caps is a style used for titles. Most people are too lazy to do it nowadays given the amount of titling we need to do for our electronic communications but there is assuredly still some crusty style manual out there advocating it. The New Yorker notably clings to its traditions.

  > Didn't we used to quote proper nouns when they didn't appear to be nouns? No, mostly not. This only has a problem because of title case, and the frequency with which it causes this exact problem is one reason title case is falling out of style.
