Robert Thorpe, born in London on the 100th day of the 50th year of the 20th century. I have a degree in English from Peterhouse, Cambridge. For many years I worked as a teacher of the language, in Mâcon, France; Mondovì, Italy; London, England, and finally in various locations in Portugal; I am now retired in Esposende.

removes Incorrect or Unnecessary Capital Letters like These. Proper capitalisation is important to distinguish the general from the particular: the Earth goes round the Sun, and if there's too much sun the earth dries out and develops cracks.

Fans of different types of music often capitalise them, from jazz to jungle, a habit which may stem from referring to the names of music charts ("#51 Country", etc.). Some people capitalise the names of currencies, probably because many of them sound like proper nouns, franc, for example, or mark. Of course those two have now (almost) vacated the scene in favour of the equally capitalised-sounding euro.
