That was a serious thread

How do you feel about people talking to you (or you talking) in CAPITAL LETTERS, like on msn etc. Does it do your head in, do you find it acceptable, or perhaps even more stimulating than talking in lower case?

How do I feel? I feel like I'm either being shouted at, or being spoken to by somebody less than 12 years of age.

I don't find typing in the proper way stimulating. If that's what it takes to stimulate you, then God help us.

There used to be a winamp plugin which flashed your capslock light in time with the music which had this effect on your writing. It was the cause of much annoyance.

Grrr don't remind me. I used to work as a teaching assistant in an Upper school.

The girls ALWAYS wrote like that. Made it impossible for me to read their work and hurt my head.:mad:

I find it funny that all the trends like that always start out by something geeky then they all get taken by "popular" people and they claim it for there own.
I wonder if they even know if it all starts from people that use computers too much :p

Oh and winamp creators must be shot for doing that plug in :mad:

Must resist :p

I can't stand people that type in caps, I used to work with someone that always sent me emails in caps. They wouldn't believe me when I said it was classed as shouting :(
 
It's annoying as hell. Theres only one person who does it to me but I can deal with it coz shes hot and wants some :p
 
what about talking with no capital letting at the beginning of a sentance. this is what i mean. and the misuse of punctuation. and speling errors. and when there is no paragraph in a big block of text or the sentance you are reading is really long yet the author failed to throw in and fullstop and he just makes you reading the same line or perhaps he overuses the word and because he is an amatuer and he has no partner and he has a pet fish called tony

That is definately not as annoying! :)
 
So, you guys are telling me you've never typed an e-mail out quickly without really thinking about appearance, only to discover that you accidentally had your cAPS LOCK KEY ON?

Heck, it happens.

Hardly the end of the world though, is it? Oh, I'm a shouter too.
 
i really like uncapitalised small point verdana, it looks really suarve and nice. but when it get's bigger it becomes a hideous beast.


I would have to say that typing in all caps is rather annoying, as I don't like being shouted at, yet it's a lot easier to read than alternating or text type speak, which are just plain wrong, I think the user's keyboards should have a build in function to just BLOODY ASPLODE IN THEIR FAECES!!11one/. :p

No, never. I always re-read my messages before I send them, and if I had left the Caps Lock on, I'd go back and re-write it.

Most annoying thing on the hardware side of this forum is when someone posts 10 questions with not paragraphing, not even any punctuation.

On quite a few ocasions I have seen posts which I have no idea what they are asking. Is very annoying as I usually want to help!

4am, off to bed.
