    ITT: DO YOU READ ALL CAPS MESSAGES AS LOUD? BECAUSE WHEN I TYPE LIKE THIS, I AM NOT TRYING TO BE LOUD. IT'S JUST YOU.
     
    I didn't used to, but these days, 9 times out of 10 I imagine it as yelling when I read it.
    WHICH IS FUNNY BECAUSE WHEN I USUALLY USE ALL CAPS I'M MORE TRYING TO BE EXCITED 8DDDD I don't know where I got that interpretation of it, but ah well...
     
    No, I use and read capitals as EMPHASES.
     
    I use it for EMPHASIS or to annoy people. DID YOU SEE HER CLOTHES GURL OH MAH GAH
     
    It may be used for emphasis, but automatically when I read it... I imaging the person shout at me.
     
    i use caps lock when im too tired to unpress the caps lock button i accidentally pressed or when i'm craving leftover pasta. i just assume other people are feeling the same way \(◕_◕)/
     
    OF COURSE, USING CAPSLOCK MAES YOU LOOK COOL BY YELLING ALL THE TIME, AND ONLY REAL BADASSES YELL ALL THE TIME!!!

    You people are so loud. D:

    ...so, yeah! I find it really hard not to picture a person yelling whenever they type in caps, even if it's the most benign thing in the world.
     
    caps lock + shift is the ultimate form of emphasis - people dunno how much emphasis i got!

    -shot-

    But yeah, I do read out ALL CAPS LOCK LIKE DIS OMG as yelling, but if it's just one or two words, then I take it as emphasis. How I read it out as, all depends on how someone uses it. I also have some friends who just use it when they're excited. xD;
     
    I usually think that ALL-CAPS THREAD TITLES AND POSTS are Spambot or troll material.

    In other words, yes, they do come off as loud to me.
