Capitalization of first letters in headlines and titles
I was wondering where the tradition to capitalize first letters in headlines and titles comes from and to which words this rule doesn't apply.
A personal tidbit: I find this practice distracting because it's makes it harder to tell names, titles, locations and other words that have their first letters normally capitalized from other words in the headline on the fly.
Thanks!
