Bookmarks - Internet stuff: Punctuation

Bill Walsh calls for a shift at Filter:

Filter magazine's review of the Regina Spektor album "Far" begins:

The lowercase 'f' in far is telling.

No, it isn't.

The review continues to lowercase the album title (and, in an extra added bonus blow to reading comprehension, uses neither italics nor quotation marks), presumably because that's the way it is on the album cover, while uppercasing "Regina Spektor" (also lowercase on the album cover) and "Begin to Hope," a previous Spektor album whose cover art also lowercases both title and artist. ("Begin to Hope" and the other pre-"Far" albums merit italics.)
