I think I just answered my own question. My auto-correct's EXCEPTIONS
lists are full up to the neck with a list of words. Its set to "add
automatically", too. I guess that helped to produce a vicious circle.
Every time I managed to avoid a capitalization, the act fed that example
into my exceptions list. I'm deleting them now, and I've turned the
idiotic default from Yes to No. Probably this will cure the problem.
