Why Does Every Word In The Podcast Slides Start With A Capital Letter

Hi Mark and Mike,

Long time listener, first time commenter.

I love the slides and the show notes, but find the use of Title Case to be distracting and slows down my reading of the points on the slide.

Is there a reason that you use Title Case?

Cheers
Victor.

Dear friend:
Mark and Mike have advised that this type of formatting increases audience attentiveness. Unfortunately, I am COMPLETELY blanking on which podcast notes this. However, I definitely remember their brief discussion of serif and sans serif fonts and how this is the same formatting used by most newspapers to get readers' attention in headlines.

 I think that it certainly increases attentiveness if attentiveness is measured in how long it takes to read the slide :-)
It's a little bit like walking through a lawn riddled with thorns. You have to slowly pick your way through.
