Is it used to make headlines/posts more catchy? Does it have any logical explanation?

What Is The Origin Of That?

    OP is probably not English. Other languages have different rules.

    For example, in Italian book titles only have the first word capitalized, e.g.: “I promessi sposi”

      Yes, but how is that not a legitimate explanation. There’s enough Americans on lemmy to see a few posts with English title capitalization.

        Of course, yes! The original title of I promessi sposi was “Renzo e Lucia”, so capitalized proper nouns.

      In French, it’s only the first word and the first noun or verb (Le grand Sommeil). But almost nobody respects this rule anymore.
