- __alexs 6y agoIt's called Title Case. It's been popular in the US for decades. In the UK we often just use sentence case for titles.

- bbx 6y agoThanks, that’s it. I’m very annoyed by it because in the English language there is little distinction between the subject, object, and verb versions of a word. So the same sentence can be read in multiple ways. This title casing makes it even harder.
