How do you tell a friend to stop replying IN ALL CAPS in a nice way?

It's been going on for quite a while and I don't want to hurt his feelings. I've tried replying in all caps for a while to see if it bothered him but he didn't get the message.

Any suggestions?

just tell him that typing in all caps is like shouting, he should get the picture then.

Just simply sent him a reply .. "YOU ARE DRIVING ME INSANE...QUIT TYPING IN ALL CAPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". :D:D Seriously though, just tell him the truth, it's not like it's a major issue or anything.

Just say, "Hey, if you want I can fix your caps lock button man. It would be my pleasure." Say it jokingly and lightly. But man, if you are worried about hurting his feelings because he types in all caps, maybe you have some other issues to work out with him first. ;) heheh

Why would asking him if he could not type in caps hurt is feelings?
Is he some kind of girly-man? ;)

Tell him that it is harder for you to read his messages when he types every thing in UPPERCASE.

WOW! IF I DIDN'T KNOW ANY BETTER I'D THINK I GOT FREAKIN' FLAMED!

I have a lot of friends I could easily just say &quot;quit it.&quot; But this guy is a friend through work so it's a bit more delicate.

Thanks for the reply's though, funny!

My favorite:

&quot;Tell him to log on here.&quot;
