Biggest Tech No-Nos 3

I have to disagree. E mails / internet communication will never replace actually talking to people. Where will these interpretations of what one is really trying to say or express themselves stop?
When will we acutually become a computer and lose all of of human aspects maybe rules like this will apply..

I HAVE READ MANY TIMES ABOUT NOT USING CAPITALS IN E MAILS AND I DISAGREE. THERE ARE A LOT OF BOOMERS OUT THERE AND WE DON'T SEE A WELL AS WE USED TO.
SO LARGER TYPE AND EVEN BOLD HELPS US A LOT.
AND I DON'T TAKE YOU SERIOUSLY. WHO MADE YOU THE E MAIL POLICE?
HOW ABOUT THIS SHOUT OUT!

HAVE ROUGH COURSE VOICE NATURALY CAPS ONLY WAY TO BE HONEST AS TO MY TRUE PERSONALITY SILVERBACK ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT IDENTIFYING MY PERSONALITY

AND YES MAKES IT EASIER TO PROOF READ

I USE ALL CAPS BECAUSE I TYPE WITH ONE FINGER AND ITS JUST A LOT EASIER, ITS NOT RUDE,ITS JUST EASIER, I WISH I COUND LEARN TO TYPE WITH BOTH HANDS BUT I HAVE NOT FOUND A WAY TO DO THAT SO I WILL CONTINUE TO TYPE THE BEST AND EASIEST WAY I CAN.

I AGREE WITH JERRY ABOVE REGARDING ALL CAPS IN EMAILS. I DO IT BECAUSE OF SEEING IT BETTER AND READING OTHERS EMAIL EASIER. I AM A BOOMER AND HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME WITH THIS. I WILL CONTINUE TO TYPE IN ALL CAPS. MY MESSAGE TO MOST PEOPLE IS NOT
TO COMMUNICATE IN A HARSH TONE OR SHOUT. PEOPLE WILL KNOW WHEN THEY READ MY MAIL IF I AM NOT HAPPY EITHER LOWER CASE OR NOT!!!! OVER 50 AND HAPPY!!!!!

YOU MEAN SOME PEOPLE ACTUALLY TAKE THINGS WRITTEN HERE SERIOUS ?

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ! ! !

VERY HAPPY TO KNOW THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE LOGICAL REASONS FOR TYPING IN CAPS AS I DO.
THE INTERNET FASHION POLICE PEOPLE, IN MY OPINION, SHOULD NOT TELL OTHERS, LOWER CASE OR UPPER CASE IS IN VOGUE OR IT ISN`T. DID YOU GOOD POLICE PEOPLE TELL PEPSI-COLA NOT TO TEACH LEARNING CHILDREN TO RIGHT PROPER NAMES IN LOWER CASE ? YES ! THAT IS CORRECT LITTLE CHILDREN DO DRINK PEPSI PRODUCTS. AND THAT WOULD BE CORRECT ALSO, THE CLASSROOM TEACHER IS TEACHING ONE THING AND HERE COMES PEPSI- COLA ALONG WITH THEIR BUDDIES TEACHING SOMETHING FAR REMOVED, ALBEIT IN A MUCH DIFFERENT VENUE. THIS " change mess " IS REALLY SOMETHING.

I agree, how does font size say your yelling please people get a life!!

I ALWAYS USE UPPER CASE. I DO NOTICE THAT THE ENGLISH SPEAKING CHAT ROOMS ARE LESS TOLERANT OF CAPITALS. SPANISH AND OTHER LANGUAGE CHAT ROOMS REALLY DON'T CARE. AS A MATTER OF FACT..THEY ARE QUITE COLORFUL.

COME ON.......THE WRITER OF THIS ARTICLE NEEDS A REALITY CHECK......WRITING IN CAPS DOESNT INDICATE ANYTHING....WHAT NEXT ...YOU DONT LIKE THE FONT, THE COLOR, THE WAY ITS WORDED. I GOT NEWS FOR THE WRITER OF THIS ARTICLE.....YOU DO NOT PAY MY SALARY, YOU DO NOT PUT FOOD ON MY TABLE OR PAY MY BILLS....GET LOST...I WILL DO AS I DAMM WELL PLEASE....WHOOPS AM I ANGRY...LMAO

GET SERIOUS. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SHOUT IN THE WRITTEN WORD. SOME PEOPLE NEED TO GET A LIFE. WORRY ABOUT THINGS THAT ARE MEANINGFUL. STOP TRYING TO BE POLITICAL CORRECT. BUSINESS LETTERS, NO, BUT EMAILS, IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, DON'T READ THEM.

TO THE WRITER OF THIS ARTICAL. GET A LIFE. IT DOSEN'T MATTER THE FONT SIZE. AS FAR AS SHOUTING? I NEVER HEAR THING! I USE UPPER CASE ALL THE TIME. DOES IT HURT YOUR EARS AS YOU READ THIS? USE EAR PLUGS!

THE MEANING OF ALL CAPS IS WHAT EVER YOU MAKE IT SO FOR ME IT JUST MEANS I AM WHISPERING!!!! LOL

OR MAYBE YOU WAS IN THE MILITARY AND EVERYTHING HAD TO BE TYPED IN ALL CAPS!!


SOME PEOPLE ARE REALLY STUPID AND THEY WANT EVERYONE ELSE TO PLAY FOLLOW THE LEADER, WELL OK IF YOU SAY SO!!! DUMBASSES!!!

I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH EVERYONE ELSE. SO I GUESS I'M 'FOLLOWING THE CROWD' HAHA..IT IS SO MUCH EASIER THAN TRYING TO PUT THAT CAP ON NAMES, AND HALF THE TIME IT DOESN'T GET CAPPED ANYWAY BECAUSE MY LITTLE PINKY IS NOT STRONG EN'UF. YOU KNOW-- ART-RITIS

AFTER HAVING BEEN A PROFESSIONAL TYPIST FOR 45 YEARS, I AM AWARE OF THE "PROER RULES". HOWEVER, AT AGE 83, MY EYESIGHT IS VERY POOR. THEREFORE, IT IS MUCH EASIER TO READ LARGER PRINT AND ALL CAPS.
IF AND WHEN I SHOULD WANT TO YELL AT YOU. YOU'LL RECOGNIZE IT WHETHER IT'S WRITTEN IN CAPS OR NOT.

Wow, I have never read such a collection of comments from such a collection of egotistical a-holes. The reason we write in lower case is two-fold. First, it's how we were taught to write (or print) in elementary school. But then, I seriously doubt that many of these posters attended elementary school, or any other school. Secondly, lower case type is easier to read, not harder to read. Words written in lower case type have shape that is absent in all caps, where all letters are the same height and shape. Reading is much faster and easier in lower case, especially for those who have lost some of their eyesight.

Reading messages in ALL CAPS DOES NOT OFFEND ME.

WHY DOES IT OFFEND A FEW WHO WANT TO MAKE ALL THE RULES FOR THE MAJORITY??

Get over yourself already!!

OH, I MEANT TO SAY....GET OVER YOURSELF ALREADY!!

Now that was YELLING!!
