POLL: CAPS LOCK

DO YOU GET OFFENDED WHEN I TYPE LIKE THIS?

DO YOU HAVE TO SWITCH BACK AND FORTH BECAUSE OF YOUR JOB?

I KNOW IT'S BAD EMAIL/BOARD/SOCIAL MEDIA ETIQUETTE BUT THERE ARE PROGRAMS AT WORK THAT REQUIRE CAPS LOCK AND SOMETIMES I HATE TO SWITCH BACK WHEN AN EMAIL COMES UP IN BETWEEN, OR JUMPING ON HERE.

HOWEVER, DO KNOW THAT AFTER THIS POST, I WILL GO BACK TO NORMAL.

JUST WONDERING IF THIS IRKS ANYONE LIKE IT IRKS ME.

Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml

Re: POLL: CAPS LOCK

  • It irks the crap out of me.  I have to use CAPS for a program at work and I always switch back and forth for emails, ect. because it annoys me so much.  However, I do have Windows Live Messenger and if someone messages me I usually just say I am using caps for a program, deal with it.  So yes, it bugs the crap out of me.  DH's aunt friended me on FB and ALL of her posts are in caps with twenty!!!!!!!!!!!!! exclamations.  Plus she updates her status a few times an hour.  I had to block her, I couldn't stand it.
  • DH has to use caps for a lot of programs at work, so when we gchat, he almost always is in all caps.  I asked about it at the beginning, but now I'm used to it.  But yes, it seemed like he was yelling!

  • I just read your post in a yelling voice in my head.  So, yeah, it bothers me.

    We use caps to type in patient information, but for some reason that doesn't bother me.  Ha.

  • It doesn't bother me at all. I can totally understand and see why it bothers many people. We do type in all capitals at work in our system, so I'm used to seeing it.

  • YES it bothers me. Mostly because I used to have a coworker that would put (what she thought was) IMPORTANT INFORMATION (or words like MUST, REQUIRED, etc) in all caps in emails and it was so CONDESCENDING.
