Hello Richard,
I agree entirely on your point. However I think it overly generous of you to refer to this trend of ignoring the intelligence behind capitalisation as a “convention”. It is hardly deserving of that title. Unless you care to call laziness and stupidity a “convention”. Is it anything other than laziness and stupidity?
Communication in many forms is going that way, just like the ABC news readers who don’t know the difference between “is” and “has” or can’t be bothered to use either word but just a useless “s” sound. Or people sending me text messages on my mobile phone with “UR” as intending to say “your”, or was it “you are”. Etc etc blah blah.
