https://reason.com/blog/2018/05/28/an-english-teachers-incorrect-correction/anti-gun english teacher (are there any other kinds? At least, not with a name like 'Yvonne') writes to Trump, gets the basic form letter in return that lists what Trump is doing on gun control.
Tries to go viral on muh social media by posting a pic of semantic & style 'corrections' to the letter like a complete fucking grammar nazi
aaaand every single 'correction' she makes is wrong.

Almost all of Mason's corrections are complaints about capitalization. Specifically, the letter capitalizes the words federal, state, nation, and president even when they are not components of proper nouns. That is not A.P. style. That is not Reason style. That is not my style. But as the Times notes, it is White House style:
A style manual for the federal government calls for capitalizing "Nation" and "Federal" when the words are used as a synonym for the United States. It says "State" should be capitalized when it is referring to the government or legislature. In letters from Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush that constituents posted online, words like "Nation" and "President" are capitalized.
