Re: English idiom question

[(Anonymous)]

It's definitely not a common expression, at least not where I live, but I get it as a writing thing where words are capitalized to kind of exaggerate their importance/add some implications without outright saying anything specific, if that makes sense. Circumstances especially is a word that's vague enough that it could mean just about anything.

"From Circumstances" initially threw me off because "from" was capitalized and I was thinking of it as a phrase and it didn't make sense gramatically, but when it's used as part of a sentence and just "Circumstances" is capitalized, I get it.

I can't think of any examples to use as comparisons because it's late and I've been awake way too long and can't think straight, but hopefully this makes some kind of sense.

If someone says that specific phrase out loud it's probably a reference to the comics. Similar things...it'd depend what they specifically were. In writing I feel like capitalizing words like that give them a specific connotation that you wouldn't get in actual speech. Unless they put emphasis on the word or said it in a way that implied there'd be quotation marks if it was written, like a slight pause before it kind of?

I don't know if any of this makes any sense.

I was wondering if it was something like that. Thank you!

You're welcome! Hopefully it made some kind of sense.

I thought of kind of a weird example. I have a friend that keeps getting back with this jerkish guy and everyone wonders why. Her explanation is that he's Talented. I think if that were a lowercase t, it'd be kind of confusing...does he play the piano? Speak a bunch of different languages? What? But that capital T gives an implication that I feel like most people probably understand, but it doesn't come out and explicitly say anything.
