With lower case my eyes keep getting drawn to the ends of the text,
namely Mydog and shat mydogategodshat which begs the reading
"my dog ate; go'd'shat." Which might be be understood as slang
as "my dog has eaten and goes to do a defecation.."
Using caps judiciously makes that reading difficult to support and
appears not to offend the user's intention.
