why are there so many titles in CAPS JESUS
 
How often would you say you use CAPS online? Do you use it for emphasis or when you're yelling or JUST BECAUSE? What about in real life; do you find yourself raising your voice fairly easily at others?

I use caps rather frequently when I'm talking to people, usually just for emphasis. it throws some people off because they think I'm yelling at them, but most just kinda get used to it or use caps themselves.

I very rarely yell at people irl, and if I do then they probably deserved it haha.

The only reason I'd use caps is for like sarcasm or humour, and even then, I actually tend to use all lowercase and bad grammar instead haha. But in real life I'd consider myself rather collected. I don't tend to raise my voice at all, in fact I just don't talk to people hahaha

I'm a really quiet person unless I'm joking around and something merits a screaming or angry voice. The only time I use A LOT OF CAPS is when I'm EMPHASIZING a WORD or sentence. And I usually use CAPS and italics for doing that.

I hardly ever use caps, ever. I'll only use it when I'm yelling and want to put emphasis on something. So, if you see a bunch of caps and hearts, look out! I'm mad!

Same for me, though apparently I talk extremely loud when I get excited about something and I don't even register it.

oops

I dont even remember why I made the paranormal thread in caps anymore, but yeah I am an abuser of caps. I guess I use it to get my point across or joke about something. Irl I am more likely to think you're stupid and never talk to you than yell at you ever.

I'll use caps for emphasis. In real life I raise my voice when I get irritated, annoyed, angry, etc.

Raine April 19th, 2014 1:57 PM

There are certain people who I talk to online who use all caps as a way to communicate, and I often times emulate them, adapting to their messaging tendencies. So, it's very rare for myself to actually capslock, but I do frequently type 'lol' in caps online, and in text messages. Though when I do it, doesn't necessarily mean that I'm trying to give the impression that I would be yelling in real life; there's absolutely no reasoning for my capslocking when I do it XD

Rarely use caps while posting on forums or submitting comments on websites, because, well, to me, they always seem to have a more serious kind of atmosphere. xD;; When I'm chatting on things like Skype, AIM, etc., that's a completely different story; I do it all the time. They help liven up the conversation, soo why not?

I use caps for emphasis or just to be ironic. 90% of the time, I'm not doing it to yell, even though that's the perception given when something is typed in all caps, especially if it's something angry.

Khoshi April 19th, 2014 5:09 PM

Emphasis or trying to get a point across. I rarely use full caps, for people would think I'm mad, bro. I barely get mad on the interwebs, but if I do, I won't lash out in caps lock.

Arc April 19th, 2014 9:53 PM

I only use caps for something for comedic effect or just joking around. Other than that, I don't tend to spam caps. I never use caps to signify that I'm angry or yelling, because all caps being used seriously looks more ridiculous rather than full of rage.

Candy April 19th, 2014 10:22 PM

My caps for emphasizing whenever I'm mad.

Because italics and bold doesn't work most of the time for me.

Kikaito plush April 20th, 2014 2:32 AM

I only use cap locks if I forget to switch it off.

£ April 20th, 2014 2:36 AM

If I'm using cruise control I'm certainly not using it in a serious I AM PISSED OFF WITH YOU manner.

idk leave my caps alone, let me keep my cruise control on. :(

Poki April 20th, 2014 4:55 AM

CAPS ARE FOR COOL PEOPLE ONLY UMADBRO

Tsutarja April 20th, 2014 5:29 AM

I don't use CAPS. I just simply hold down the Shift key.

Charlie Brown April 20th, 2014 9:28 AM

I generally don't use caps online because in my head I always read caps as shouting and I don't like shouting :P irl I'm on the quiet side as well hahaha.

Shining Raichu April 20th, 2014 9:31 AM

I use caps because they make me look enthusiastic and mask my vast indifference toward life and all things

I usually use caps to indicate yelling or if I'm just fooling around in some way. I don't really use it for emphasis, since I feel like it kinda stands out in an obnoxious way, so I'll usually just use bold or italics if I want to emphasize something :D

As for my general opinion on caps, I have nothing against it if it's just used for fun in a certain situation, but I don't really like when people use it to draw attention to themselves D:

Hikamaru April 20th, 2014 10:43 AM

The only time you'll ever see me using caps is for the lolz. I'm not that much of a mad-voiced poster myself, given I interpret caps in posts as shouting.

Altairis April 20th, 2014 11:03 AM

People on the server always tell me I use caps a lot .-. and I guess I do b/c lot of things are just so exciting that caps are very necessary. :) :)
