Please Stop Using CAPS for Important Messages

OR

Dec 8, 2008

CAPS are used at times to emphasize on a particular word. And they should remain that way – to emphasize on a PARTICULAR word. Sadly, some of us put CAPS on entire sentences and they make important messages unreadable.

For example, there is supposedly a snow storm happening in Waterloo at the same time I’m coming down from Toronto. I wanted to learn more about the snow storm so that I can be more prepared for it, but I get this shenanigan instead:

Good thing I found this ALL CAPS Translator that translates every letter in lower-cases. Thanks again Internet!

It might be easier to copy it into Word, highlight, and Shift-F3. That toggles the case from all caps, first letter caps, no caps.

LOL..

yo if it's me I would just bare with reading through it.. because the time that would cost me to find the translator will probably be equivalent to reading through it..

I think "WINTER STORM WATCH" in caps would have sufficed... the rest was a little hard on the eyes :P
