Grandpa likes to make weird statements and ask weird questions. Only the other day he asked:
"Make a Long Table Out of a Wall"
"What am I doing? Need a one word answer"
He does have a way with his English.
Hint:
Capitalization means something.

$\begingroup$ Should I be guessing what the one word answer is? $\endgroup$ – elarr Aug 8 '18 at 13:23

1$\begingroup$ Looks like "ML TO WIN" but there's an extra "w". $\endgroup$ – Yout Ried Sep 4 '18 at 15:29

Maybe grandpa is
programming?
All the capitalized words
have something to do with programming. "Make" is a compiling tool, "long" is a datatype, "table" is a data structure, "out" is either a parameter type or short for output, and "Wall" is a compiler flag signifying "show all warnings".

Is grandpa perhaps:
Malting? - Based on MALT. The hint says that capitalization means something, well I couldn't come up with much on an acrostic, nor could I piece the letters together very well. Malt is the combination of the first letter from the first four words; technically giving MaLT.
I know it's probably wrong, but a guess is worth a shot at this point. Great puzzle by the way!
