03/12 The Dr. Phil House: Man Camp, Part 6

Quote From: cherijohn_91

SORRY, this is definetely new to me, I do not correspond on the internet very often.  Why is it hard to read? Now I know why when I use caps people respond like I may have offended them, WHOOPS, IN A FRIENDLY WAY

:o)

I am not sure why it's considered yelling, but I've been chatting for over a decade now and that's how it's always been, actually, as funny as it might seem, when I read words in all caps I "hear" yelling in my head. (I'm one of those readers who hears the words in her head as she reads.)

I do have a hard time reading it, probably only because I'm not used to it.

All caps blend together.

For me, all caps tends to blend together. And I too hear the yelling. It's a trained habit, but one nonetheless. Plus, it's just one of many etiquette rules you learn on the net. It's a universal :)
