CAPITAL LETTERS ARE OVERRATED

[Denmark]

just for the record, the debate between the spelling of "capitalization" vs. "capitalisation" (and its correctness) will not be tolerated in this thread. for all my posts, "capitalize" may also be read as "capitalise". please don't argue with me about it or i'll be forced to modwhore. and that makes me cry.

how often do you capitalize words when typing conversationally (as we do on forums or in instant messages or emails or stuff like that)? do you ever use all caps to shout? do you capitalize just the word "I" (as i used to and still sometimes revert to)? any comments on capital letters are appreciated, really. discuss.

I capitalise more often than not when I'm in #eoff or messengers.

I try to be grammatically correct in forum conversation. Sometimes I get lazy or won't capitalize because I typed a sentence fragment. In IMs it depends on the person. Capitalization is a form of intimidation.

Yeah, I think it's being over-dramatic.

I TYPE IN CAPS QUITE A BIT BECAUSE I HAVE BAD NETIQUETTE.

I capitalize when it's amusing to me to do so.

For example, when I am yelling at VampireCrono.
