I don't know for sure anymore but this question also came up to me a
while ago. I found out has something to do with the lack of bold letters
a long time ago when newspapers were made with lead letters. Instead of
using bold letters to put some "Power" to a word they used capitals
instead, just because it was cheaper. (I have no source for this, I just
remembered it, correct me if I'm wrong please). For Non-English
speakers it is strange to see capitalized words in a sentence but it is
common use in the American English. You can find more information on
this subject at:
