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....

Re: Is it that hard not to use caps?

The point is that many people, myself included, find it incredibly annoying to read posts that are all in caps. Why? Writing all in caps is universally understood on the Internet to mean SHOUTING. I don't want to be shouted at.

The upshot is that if you write all in caps, a lot fewer people will read your posts. If that's OK with you, then go ahead. But I've seen many people start threads and then seem unhappy when no one replies. If you want more replies, and a better discussion of your thread or post, take the caps key off. How can it be so difficult? I personally would find it hard to type all in caps, since I'd still be hitting the shift key and making the starts of sentences in lower case!

Yes, it's a silly point, but as many people have pointed out, so are wedding favors and pew bows and what height heel you're wearing on your bridal shoes. We're not discussing politics or how to clean up the environment, we're talking about weddings. Don't make it out to be more important than it is, other than to our own personal satisfaction and the profit levels of the wedding industrial complex!

are we really obsessing over CAPS? Between the CAPS and the CRAZYS this website is becoming too difficult!



seriously!



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.




I agree with you 100%! this is a bit ridiculous...

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 agree - how does it physically hurt someone to read ????
