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? <br>   When will we acutually become a computer and lose all of of human aspects maybe rules like this will apply..]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[scott]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 2nd 2009 9:59PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/04/02/biggest-tech-no-nos-3/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/04/02/biggest-tech-no-nos-3/</guid><description><![CDATA[I HAVE READ MANY TIMES ABOUT NOT USING CAPITALS IN E MAILS AND I DISAGREE.

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.

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.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dick]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 3rd 2009 2:00AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/04/02/biggest-tech-no-nos-3/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/04/02/biggest-tech-no-nos-3/</guid><description><![CDATA[Notice how "Faye" commented on this matter of cap's.

HOWEVER, AT AGE 83, MY EYESIGHT IS VERY POOR. THEREFORE, IT IS MUCH EASIER TO READ LARGER PRINT AND ALL CAPS.<br>IF AND WHEN I SHOULD WANT TO YELL AT YOU.

I am a 55 year old who is<br>not a professional typist and use only one or two finger's to type.<br>I think that "PROER RULES" should be proper rule's. I could be wrong, but I am not a professional. There is no disrespect on <br>age, as I admire my elder's and respect them with all my heart.<br> I am aware that some person's may make a comment using<br>a age factor to make a statement.  In this case I feel that FAYE<br>simply meant "PROPER" rather than "PROER"......Dan<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 3rd 2009 3:31AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/04/02/biggest-tech-no-nos-3/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/04/02/biggest-tech-no-nos-3/</guid><description><![CDATA[Reading messages in ALL CAPS DOES NOT OFFEND ME.<br><br>WHY DOES IT OFFEND A FEW WHO WANT TO MAKE ALL THE RULES FOR THE MAJORITY??<br><br>Get over yourself already!!<br><br>OH, I MEANT TO SAY....GET OVER YOURSELF ALREADY!!<br><br>Now that was YELLING!!<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tonja]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 3rd 2009 3:53AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
