Is there a polite way to tell another adult, someone who is ostensibly a professional person, that they should stop capitalizing every word in a sentence? I mean, is it just me, or does the following sound snarky?
"Dear colleague,
I was reading through your item and noted a couple of typos. Just a reminder that we only capitalize the first word of every sentence.
Sincerely,
Your co-worker"

PS -- Capitalizing certain Words does not make them any more Important, no matter what You may think.
Marm, how do you feel about that bureaucracy capitalization? (That is, as I mentioned above, capitalizing all words deemed somehow important, regardless of what they are. My favorite from my time at the state: They always capitalized Engineer and Director, but I notice that secretary was never capitalized. Coincidence? I think not.)
