I got an email yesterday that included many reprimands in all caps. I was pissed because I read it as someone shouting at me not as someone trying to emphasize their point. After re-reading, I'm fairly convinced she meant emphasis rather than shouting. So...what does it mean when you use all caps? I think it means shouting.
Most freepers will use all capitals. I don't know what the reason for that trend is, but I can tell you... I've never seen a liberal use all capitals in a chat room. Never.
5. I didn't know it meant shouting until a year or so ago.
So, this person is very politically active but is older. How should I respond? As someone explaining what it all caps means or as someone who is offende at her shouting at me?
