Spell check on iPhone does it. Didnt realize it needed to be capitalized until I started posting wih it. Then again it doesn't always get it righ. The other day I wanted to type fucky and it kept changing it to ducky.

Capitalizing it implies the word is a proper noun, which for the most part means you should leave out the article ("the"). "I posted shit on Internet." Seems ind of awkward.

But some proper nouns have the "The". For example, "The Doctor".
