There Is This Middle-Aged Woman On Another Forum I’m A Member Of, Who, For Some Stupid Reason, Insists On Capitalizing Every Word In Her Posts. She Gets Angry And Defensive When Asked Why She Does This And/Or Is Asked To Stop. Then She Keeps Doing It.
Why??? It’s So Much Work To Capitalize Every Word.
I Am Tired Just From Typing This Short Post That Way…
I know that some forum software takes all-caps posts and converts them into initial caps, so it’s possible that she’s got the caps lock on all the time and doesn’t understand why her posts are showing up like they do. Of course, that raises the question of why she’s typing in all caps in the first place, I suppose.
Oh my, I think I know who you are talking about. :eek: The person who I am thinking of claims she does it because she “Thinks It Makes Her Posts Interesting and Different.”
I am shocked her shift key hasn’t snapped and beaten her to death yet…
I’ve mentioned this before, but on other message boards, I found that users from India type entirely in lowercase. They may capitalize a word here and there, but they’re not proper nouns or words at the beginning of a sentence.
“hello i am the sanjit will you Help me with my homework?”
I have a bad habit and I have no idea why I do it, even though I know it’s grammatically incorrect - I find myself sometimes capitalizing a word in a sentence that seems important. For example:
“The Candidates will address each other at the Debate this week.”
Generally, I catch myself and edit accordingly, but still …
Doesn’t the German langauge do that somehow someway? I like to think I picked it up from the root and I’m not just a noodge.
