But the pause comes from punctuation, not capitalization. Are you saying that you pause before each propper noun? If I write "KingAmazon Grаν¡tоnЅurgе Spector Jizmo Chruser VicciousMillitia PoserPunk Killah TheOne DemiNeo Optimistic HlOmegaSin Xenn Taco", will it slow you down so much that a snail passes you?
Anyone familiar with both the English language (or any Romantic/Germanic language really) and forums can readily distinguish between names and words. The confusion, and diminished reading speed, occurs when each word is treated as the start of a sentence; the brain is trained to believe that each word begins a new idea and therefore the natural flow is disrupted.
