Everything is in caps on a computer terminal. All caps means you're shouting? Says who? Wow! I had no idea I have been shouting at the computer all these years. Has it ever occurred to you idiots that caps are easier to read?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[gn5100]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 1st 2009 2:41PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on New Zealand Woman Fired for Using Bolded ALL CAPS in E-Mail]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/09/01/new-zealand-woman-fired-for-using-bolded-all-caps-in-e-mail/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/09/01/new-zealand-woman-fired-for-using-bolded-all-caps-in-e-mail/</guid><description><![CDATA[Its logically stupid.  Type an email or posting a comments all in capital letters means you are yelling.

If she was so good at her job, why didn't she find another one right away--this happened almost two years ago.  No, folks, I'm guessing she had performance issues and this email thing was the last straw that led to her firing.  If so, it's a miscarriage of justice that she was awarded money, and I hope the company appeals.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[doodlebug]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 2nd 2009 3:27PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
