> I would like to take this opportunity to complain that LaTeX iS cApItAlIzEd lIkE tHiS. In case you were complaining because you don't know why, rather than because you knew why but don't like it, it's LaTeX because it's Lamport + TeX; and it's actually not really TeX but TEΧ (that last letter is a chi), which, when typeset properly (see https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/68/TeX_logo.svg/200px-TeX_logo.svg.png https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/68/Te...), was meant specifically to show off TEΧ's layout abilities. (In fact Lamport got into the spirit of it, and the real name is LATEΧ, again carefully typeset: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/45/LaTeX_project_logo_bird.svg/480px-LaTeX_project_logo_bird.svg.png https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/45/La... . The common stylization LaTeX is just a convenient ASCII representation.)
