**Topic Suggestion/Request** :  
This issue has been bothering me for some time. For reading and Scripture memorization I use the ESV. Do you know why the choice was made to not capitalize the pronouns which refer to God (He, Him, and Himself) when they were producing that translation? In either formal or casual writing shouldn’t the pronouns which refer to God be capitalized to be the most reverent we can be?

**Reasoning** :  
It has bothered me for years.
