TODAY IS CAPS LOCKS DAY AND IF YOU DON'T THINK I'M GOING TO PASS ON DOING AN OBVIOUS GIMMICK ARTICLE YOU ARE KIDDING YOURSELF. CAPS LOCK IS VERY HELPFUL FOR GIVING THE IMPRESSION OF VOLUME IN TEXT. IN MY MENTAL READING, I PROCESS THE FULL CAPS AS SHOUTED SPEECH. IT LOOKS LIKE I'M TRYING TO BE LOUD OR AGGRESSIVE IN HOW I CONDUCT MYSELF ONLINE.


IT ALSO IS A LOT MORE BLOCKY TO LOOK AT. ALL THE NATURAL VARIATION IN THE LETTERS ARE BLURRED. IT'S HARDER TO TELL AT A GLANCE WHERE SENTENCES BEGIN OR END BECAUSE THERE'S NO CAPITALIZATION FOR EMPHASIS WHEN EVERYTHING IS CAPITALIZED. IT ALMOST LESS LIKE TEXT AND MORE LIKE A STACK OF BOXES. AND I STILL THINK IT LOOKS LIKE I'M YELLING IN TEXT.
