The awful CAPS FOR EMPHASIS disease

Bah! You call that a joke? I’ll show you a joke!

Why did the chicken cross the road?

For fowl purposes.

Well done! :slight_smile:

^ Agreed.

But if I don’t CAPITALIZE random words how will you know what I’m saying is SUPER-DUPER IMPORTANT?!?!

I mean if the GOD DAMN LIB ER ALS would just get it in their heads…

that the TOP 10% are DESTROYING the WORLD…

We would ALL be better off.

What now?

Yeah! And besides, I like smaller paragraphs, and even separate sentences. Makes it much easier for my poor old eyes to follow. What I hate is people who clump their entire post into one huge block of text. Even with my reading glasses, it’s often just too difficult to track the lines of text without losing my place too much.

UN-altered REPRODUCTION and DISSEMINATION of this IMPORTANT Information is ENCOURAGED, ESPECIALLY to COMPUTER BULLETIN BOARDS.

Why did the dolphin cross the road?

For illicit porpoises.

That’s TERRIBLE! :smiley:

But I laughed.

As least they emphasise the right words, unlike in comic books where completely random words in speech balloons are bolded, sending my head in a spin.

What? like I have TIME to actually move my mouse just to add some italics… using caps is faster.

…hmm, now that I think of it… I cap to emphasize a point, but do starring to do emotional stressing. As in, I wouldn’t say that… THAT part of the statement is wrong. And the VOICES in MY head say it’s COOL!!!11!!!1eleventyone
