OT: Spelling rant

Why do people frequently spell Audiogon with an uppercase last letter? If you look at the repeated name in the link below, you will see they do not spell it that way in ordinary language, so it should be clear that the 'N' is in fact not uppercase, but simply enlarged to match the A at the beginning, and is part of the graphic design. (Note that all letters are uppercase as well).

I suppose it's not as bad as writing "your" for "you're", or the one that alsways makes me retch, using 'you' instead of 'your', as in "check you email". What the hell are they teaching in schools anyway? Are these the same people who complain of the English language becoming marginalized by the prevalence of Spanish in everyday business communication, as in telephone menus? Talk about throwing stones...
