A stupid rant on something stupid.

[Tim]

If you are not in the mood to read about something insignificant and dumb, stop here.

I was reading a few message boards, and I realized something that kind of annoys me, and also makes me laugh in some cases. It's when people only put CERTAIN words in CAPS in their sentences. I realize that they are probably to put emphasis on things to make a point, but it's kind of silly. I've been guilty myself of this in the past, and now that I realize how silly it looks to me, I take care not to do it. I've always been told that all caps is the internet equivilant of yelling. Try this: The next time you see somebody putting random words in their sentences in all caps, read it out loud, and yell each word that is in all caps, and tell me that doesn't make you giggle a little.

I should probably go ahead and apologize now for making such a crappy thread, so...

I'm SORRY.

That is why I do *this* instead sometimes.

Or sometimes I do this.

You just reached a new level of insignificance.

That is why I do *this* instead sometimes.

Or sometimes I do this.

But never this? Or this?

How about THIS?

C'mon... Seriously... Do you know how ridiculous that looks? :hmm:

 

[BoomerD]

Well, at least the thread title is accurate...

WHY does this bother you so MUCH?
