They are harder to read, because they are all the same height. People read by recognizing whole words and the words are easier to recognize with normal capitalization.

:Q It's like, my eyes opened for the first time.

Wow.

I think I'm gonna go sit in a corner. And think. Thank you.

You should pay me a dollar.

TYPING IN ALL CAPS LETS THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD KNOW THAT YOU ARE A 12 YEAR OLD KID WHO THINKS THAT IT'S COOL TO TYPE IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE VERY FEW PEOPLE DO SO. IT GIVES THEM A A TINGLY FEELING INSIDE KNOWING THAT THEY ARE REBELLING AGAINST THE NORMS OF FORUM ETIQUETTE BUT FAIL TO REALIZE THAT THEY ARE MAKING THEMSELVES LOOK LIKE UTTER IDIOTS.

IT HAS BEEN SHOWN HERE THAT YOU ONLY HAVE TO MOVE YOUR LITTLE FINGER (PINKY AS IT IS MORE POPULARLY KNOW) 7/16" TO AVOID LOOKING LIKE A TOOL.

PEOPLE WHO TYPE IN ALL CAPS ON A REGULAR BASIS ARE TEH STUPID.

EDITED TO FIX A TYPO.

Because it looks hideous and is YELLING.

I ALWAYS THOUGHT BOLD FONT WAS YELLING.

All capitals is yelling. BOLD FONT combined with capital letters is yelling really loud!
The combination of bold and capital should be used sparsely, or used only to highlight certain key details in long messages.

The Word "A" is capitalized?

I wasn't thinking clearly because I had to type in caps.

WHY IS IT "RUDE" TO TYPE IN ALL CAPS? IT'S JUST ANOTHER WAY OF TYPING. THE WORDS ARE STILL THE SAME THOUGH. I DON'T GET IT

wow 6466 posts in 9 months..... borderline certifiable

Using all caps is really stupid, and forgoing capitalization isn't far behind. I'd ask you to imagine trying to read a newspaper printed in all caps, but I doubt you've ever read one.
