> Please don't do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It's implicit in submitting something that you think it's important. "Almost never" is an oxymoron that negates the meanings of these words. "My grandfather was almost never killed by mesothelioma, until that one time in the 80s." Try "rarely" instead, for the effect you want.

When you get around to reading the article you will realize this title was copied from the Author's blog. Which in turn was indicated in the study he refers to in the blog. Do yourself a positive and read the article prior to posting the rules. Please refer to the title of the rules section you refer to above, which states "PREFER ORIGINAL, JOURNALISTIC TITLES" Also, the usage of the "almost never" does make sense in the context of the study abstract and the article discussing the study. Whereas your example is over the top. That said I do prefer "rarely" per your suggestion but I didn't write the article and I chose to retain the Original, Journalistic title when submitting the article due to reading the journalist informed take on the study.

  When you're done personally attacking me, please consider that my objection was to your use of capitalized words, which mistake you repeated in your comment. Please use italics or something. Thanks. > Please don't comment on whether someone read an article. "Did you even read the article? It mentions that" can be shortened to "The article mentions that".

    It appears personal attacks are being flung from both directions. If you are offended by the capitalization perhaps you are too easily offended. Regardless, I literally copied and pasted the title from the author and your original complaint said nothing about the capitalization but attempted to enforce a rule that was preempted by the rule's title.
