Is it that hard not to use caps?

Original post by NinaChris07

I am sorry because I have said this in posts before, but can we PLEASE not write in all caps?

Is it that hard?

I will not read a post that's all in caps, because it's just so difficult to read, and I am sure other people don't as well, so please turn off the caps lock button....

I do not like type in caps. It seems like someone is yelling when they type in caps. Type normal we will still understand what is being said.

There are a few brides that continue to type in CAPS even after I've seen people tell them that it annoys them. Oh well.....just can't change some people. But I agree it's hard to read especially when it's a big paragraph full of caps.....one sentence isn't so bad here & there.

Yes, I have been one of the people to ask them to stop, yet they continue.

o well, we just won't read those posts...

totally agree that a word or sentence isn't bad but a full paragraph - that's when I click away and don't read the post....

One of the first things I learned in PR...don't WRITE IN CAPS or italics because it is hard for people to read the information!!!

I had a professor once - a science prof- who used to type out our notes for the unit in all caps! I'm talking like 20 pages of notes....I wanted to scream!

I hate reading posts in all caps as well. It really is annoying and extremely difficult to read - so I just usually don't read those posts!

Personally, I'd rather read something in all lowercase letters than in all caps!

I'm sorry. I can't believe people are telling each other how to type. Yes, caps is annoying, but who are we to tell people they can't type how they'd like. If it annoys you that much, just don't read it.

Re: Is it that hard not to use caps?

I gotta be honest, I dont give a hoot if someone types in caps or not. I prefer to read lower case, but how does it 'hurt your head/eyes' to read caps?!??, lol...I just dont get it! Type how ya want peeps, Ill read.

I do however agree that sometimes it seems like the poster is yelling or angry.

But I totally understand if someone is working in all caps and is going b/n screens.

i dont think people are telling you how to type
they are asking politely not to use all caps bc its hard to read on a public forum.
I type in all caps for work but when i switch here or anywhere else, i just turn the caps lock off.

i dont understand why people would continue writing in all caps after numerous posts with people aksking them not too bc its hard to read

Thank you Jess - you just said exactly what I was about to type. No one is TELLING anyone what to do - it's a request and one that has been made numerous times by a whole bunch of people.

Like it was said before by a few people, write however you want, but just know that you're likely getting less responses because many people won't read your all caps posts.

Totally agree...

also:

1 - I don't read the posts in all caps (in response to your saying if it annoys me that much, then just dont' read it)

2 - It's not telling you how to type, it is politely asking you for your consideration towards others.... as we see, some people still don't have that consideration...
