Why the Hell are u guys using CAPS???

Vishwanath
By Vishwanath

Off late many people have started using CAPS. (even on answering the posts)

For all those who are using caps to post forum topics.....
This is for your info...

While writing, Caps indicate frustration, anger & distress.
It will in no way keep your topic highlighted & more over it gives a great level of discomfort to the reader.

You may post it in standard format, your post will never go unnoticed with tons of QLers ready to answer & help U.

Nothing offensive.... Pls... its a basic guideline......

paul

greentea, there are HTML codes, which are used for the web sites design..

use letter U for underline, use letter I for Italic, use letter B for bold, just like in Word format. Put any of this letters in brackets ..., then type the text. Put < -back slash- letter - > after text is finished.

try it

i agree.. i would say it's disrespectful..

looks like a person is having kind of anxiety..

.. look at CL.. she posted 3 times in a row.. she looks a bit out of control lately..and her endless LOLs, wherever it's suitable and wherever it's not; and her constant CAPs only prove it!

I find it quite ignorant actually, writing the whole post in caps AND knowing that it is seen to be rude!

By Froi-boi• 29 Oct 2008 20:08

In the business environment, if someone e-mails a letter using all caps, it is construed as yelling. Can be offensive to some. I'm sure some would find it offensive in a social environment like Qatarliving.

VISHWANATH IS A MAN,THATS EVEN WORSE,OH DEAR, MUST BE REALLY ANGRY,

By anonymous• 29 Oct 2008 19:59

Countrylady and others that are making fun of Vishwanath

you should read this : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netiquette which also mentions writing with Caps lock On, it says : " Another rule is to avoid typing in ALL CAPS, which is considered shouting or yelling"

I must admit you get attention when writing with Caps lock On, but the attention is negative and it looks Childish.

To convey your messsage in a less "Childish" manner, you may use effects like: *bold*, /italics/, and _underline_ and I guarantee you that you will get through to more people.
