Please Stop Using CAPS for Important Messages

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!

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

    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..

    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.
