    It really bothers me. I usually don't read those posts. Ha.

    It bothers me also. I find it hard on the eyes. I'd rather a person type in all lower case than all upper case.

    I like writing in all caps when I'm writing something long so I don't have to hit the shift key to capitalize words. I do it in text messages sometimes too. I don't take it as yelling... The big font is easier to read as well.

    Actually, the capitalized font is harder for some people to read and comes off a bit loud. Hitting the shift key isn't a big deal, is it? Or just write in all lower case. It's much easier on the eyes.

    I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!!!!

    Seriously though, I read those posts in my head as if someone is yelling and it makes my brain hurt...so I usually just skip over them. On a similar note, it drives me bonkers when people use exclaimation points at the the end of every sentence. Again, stop with the yelling! :laugh:

    No. Perhaps the person just doesn't want to push the shift key for new sentences. I actually have never thought about it. I've thought about it. Still no.

    I completely agree that I'd rather read posts completely in lower case. It really bothers me with all caps, yes, and I do frequently skip those posts. I find it really hard to read because I'm not used to seeing all-caps text, and so don't have the "word images" as readily available (plus the squareness of caps renders images hard to distinguish from one another) so it takes much longer to read. Plus...yeah, dudes, netiquette! Shouting is rude.
