I get a phone call from this Biatch and she is chewing me out because to her she thought that I was yelling at her because of the caps.

The least she could do is chew me out in person but nooooo...ah crazy Marines!

I dont get how CAPS is suppose to be someone yelling......I though !!!!!! was used for that.....

Beats me...I guess when you got rank all you could is see who you could piss on next...

besides being very annoying, uppercase carries some emotion/intent ie; yelling, etc.

sounds odd coming from me, i have to type in caps all day long, but it does make reading more of a chore on the internet.

to each thier own though. there are some poeple here that refuse to use punctuation and some whom use it in very odd ways such as constant..... inbetween what i can only assume are sentences instead of a simple period. the use of .... has supossed to having meaning behind it, just like typing in caps. context is everything on the internet. many make it very hard to discern any context by thier typing habits.

constant use of im chat lingo also bugs the hell out of me.

some may find it annoying, doesn't really matter. unless the forum requires proper english it's part of the flavor of the internet. it's no worse than my constant mis-spelling.
