I Often Wonder How And Why Certain People Put A Capital Letter On Every Word.

Writers of headlines in the USA insist on it. It looks very odd to British eyes.

A good rule of thumb is to capitalise any word that, not at the beginning of a sentence/headline, is:

a. a proper noun; or

b. a common noun that one defines specifically in a context (hence proper legal usage).
