  In thinking OP may not be a native speaker or was massively failed by their educational system, i.e., American.

  OP is probably not English. Other languages have different rules.

  For example, in Italian book titles only have the first word capitalized, e.g.: “I promessi sposi”

    Same for Spanish, barring any proper nouns

      Of course, yes! The original title of I promessi sposi was “Renzo e Lucia”, so capitalized proper nouns.

    Yes, but how is that not a legitimate explanation. There’s enough Americans on lemmy to see a few posts with English title capitalization.

    In French, it’s only the first word and the first noun or verb (Le grand Sommeil). But almost nobody respects this rule anymore.
