an argument for ALL CAPS?
28Mar08
if you read this blog or you exchange email with me, you probably know that i’m not a big fan of capitalizing letters – at least not in informal setting. in the past week, i’ve probably had about five different conversations about PEOPLE WHO WRITE IN ALL CAPS and HOW IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE PEOPLE ARE YELLING WHEN THEY WRITE LIKE THIS. it kills me. i mean, seriously. is it necessary. maybe more of my life takes place in the online universe than i’d like to admit, but i really hate all caps. when i see all caps, i feel like i’ve done something wrong and my mom is yelling at me. is there a good argument for all caps? bring it!

Yeah…even when you tell yourself “they’re not yelling, they’re typing all in caps,” it still sets one on edge.
