been here a couple weeks and would like some input (don't want to beat a dead horse) on the all caps issue. i write in all caps often and don't want to be misrepresented...i use all caps to display emphasis...there is not an option (at least as far i can see) for italics, so i resort to all caps. i never yell... so, do most read all caps as yelling??????

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I never read caps.
.
If I want something italisized,, on here, since we do not have that option,, I usually "place it in quotation marks"... That is really the best that we can do, without people taking offense!
I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER MY OWN YELLING!
Yes, I read all caps as yelling, but a word or two I read as emphasis.
Read the FURIOUS !!!! topic ?
That is caps for you.
.
If you write something on here, I can't see your facial expressions, body language or any other features that might clue me in as to what you're thinking or feeling. The only thing I have to go on is your words and how you use them.
Some people may think they're only using caps to emphasize things, and if it's only a word, that's true.
But when people put everything in caps, not only is it frustrating to read, but in my "reading voice" that I hear everything I read, you are yelling.
Not only is it obnoxious, but you can only listen to someone yell for so long before people start tuning you out.
