I know a lot of places capitalise every word but I don't feel that's right for me. Same with "Number of the Beast" (cos Beast is a personification of the animal, ie Satan) but "The beast with two backs", and then "Piece of mind" is all lowercase other than the first word. I don't know if it's right but it's how I've been doing it now for nigh-on 120 years and I ain't gonna change now, consarn it!

All of that is so wrong that I have no earthly idea where you picked it up from. You always capitalize nouns, pronouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives, and the first and last word of the title. This is iron-clad. If you do not follow these rules---and you do not---then you are objectively wrong. There is a serious deficiency in your application of grammar, Trollheart, and for a grammar Nazi such as yourself, this is unacceptable. You lose. At everything.
