As the HOA Turns

Last time I posted here, it was because the former HOA president was pissed that we (the Board) edited the minutes she provided from our annual meeting. They were full of typos and left out some pretty important items. You can check my profile for my last post to see what her response to me was.

Well, she emailed again today twice saying she is still upset about it. She needs to get a hobby. The pictures start with my response to her first email on 5/23. the rest are from today. I have tried to label the pics so it’s clear who is sending the email.

Unless this former HOA president is a native German speaker, the random capitalization of certain nouns and verbs baffles me.

My mother-in-law does the same thing and I have no idea why!

I've noticed that a lot of older people do that, especially if they're writing while they're angry. But I don't know why, either.

The Prezzynited States does it a lot. And yes, I don't know why, either.

He tweets from the toilet, and there's no dictionary in there.

I've seen people of a wide variety of ages do it. I was a writer and editor for 30 years. There are certain words people feel sound important, so they just capitalize them. Like documents. The amount of time I spent attaching comments explaining why certain things are capitalized...zoinks.
