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....

Re: Is it that hard not to use caps?

My take........WHO CARES!!!!!!!!! come on there are waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more important issues on this planet than who's writing in caps....It doesn't bother me if you write in all caps or not but I use caps to emphasize something I want to say....that way it is useful...lol
In my opinion this is petty, people should just get over things like this, it is not the end of the world!
If you are bothered by it just don't read the post of the person who uses all caps....voila! end of story...lolololol

JMO, Everyone is making way to big a deal of this. It's caps and nothing else.

Re: Is it that hard not to use caps?

i wasnt going to comment but now i am.....when i type in caps its for one of multiple reasons:
1) i am at work and using caps all day...its bad enough i shouldnt even be on the site.....but when i need to share, speak or chat i gotta do it quick.
2) i want to share a very important message/coupon.......luv those specials

when i get home i am just so excited about reading the post that i just start typing.....sometimes caps sometimes lower case.....i thought this was a forum that allowed you to be you and not be judged by how you use or dont use caps. i have to follow the email rule at work.......... dont make me be professional here

but i will try...

It doesn't ruin my day if someone writes in all caps but it definitely irks me. It's just annoying.

Re: Is it that hard not to use caps?

I dont care either way... but..
Why is it annoying?

What about the caps is annoying?

The size? Harder to read? Looks like the person is yelling?

just curious!

Re: Is it that hard not to use caps?

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...

How is writing in caps inconsiderate? It's a personal choice.

THAT STINKS I TYPE ALL CAPS AT WORK AND USE THEM ON HERE... IS IT REALLY THAT BIG OF A DEAL??

as you can see by this thread, its a BIG pet peeve of most people on here. i know that a lot of ppl have to use caps lock for their work...and i also have to use it all day long. but when i type on any type of internet board, website, etc. i make sure to tape the lock off.

not trying to be snarky or anything--just that you asked..and i'm just answering the question

I UNDERSTAND...BUT IT'S EASIER THIS WAY... I GUESS I WONT BE TYPING ANYMORE SINCE NO ONE WILL READ

I'll read!!

me too! It doesnt bother me since I work in all caps too!

No discrimination here ... I'm all over the caps AND non caps posts! This is not a make or break issue ... I guess I have posted in caps in the past (and since it's very annoying to people) I will try to make a conscience effort NOT to write in caps but I honestly dont put that much though into it.
