It's one of my pet peeves when I see someone type in all caps, mostly because I don't understand the motivation behind it. Do they not see that it looks unorganized and less attractive? Then, of course, if you say something to them about it, they are likely to get defensive and cling harder to it, just for the sake of not being told what to do.

DOES IT BOTHER YOU WHEN YOU READ SOMETHING THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS?

Caps should be for proper names, the beginning of a sentence & emphasis. I know it's considered to be "yelling" but for me it's just unreadable. I won't even make the attempt.

I will put up with it for a couple lines, but if it's a page long text than forget it. Especially since most people who type in all caps don't bother with punctuation and paragraphing either.

I won't even bother to read it if it's a long passage that is all capitalized. People know better than that shit. It's not even like the lazy absence of punctuation....typing in all caps is just a way to be obnoxious or contrary.

Some ppl just have no artistic eye. IDK how they can look at a page of all caps and not realize how hard it is to read. Same for ppl who put everything in BOLD. Do they not know that bold only works in contrast to not bold? My autocratic boss sends whole e-mails in bold, as if the button stuck and he doesn't know how to turn it off.

There was a time, BI (Before Internet) when radio com only typed in one case and that was upper.

WE EVEN HAD TYPEWRITERS THAT DID NOT HAVE LOWER CASE AND REPORTS WERE JUST LIKE WHAT CAME OVER THE TELETYPE. HOWEVER, IT WORKED BECAUSE THE 'DEFAULT' FONT WAS COURIER, WHICH GIVES EQUAL SPACE TO ALL LETTERS (EVEN TODAY).

I'll deal with all caps before I deal with a long passage or paragraph in 'text talk'.

I find it pretty hard to read and yes - I consider it yelling when someone types all in caps.
