Yes. But it is not my fault. It's the fault of Microsoft, Bill Gates, IBM,Webster,and website owners.

If God didn't want CAPS to be used he shouldn't have put them on keyboards.

All kidding aside, I have had several people refer to my use of CAPS on words I am trying to emphasize. They tell me I am not supposed to do that. That it is reserved (by the order of the Grand Wizard of Webaccessers) for when you are YELLING!

As I stated on another thread, our typed words here are the only method of representation we have.

Facial expressions,hand gestures, tone, loudness are not there.

So, what is the accepted way to indicate RAISING MY VOICE , or EMPHASIZING STRONGLY?

What is the accepted way to indicate WHISPERING?

Funny part, those who complain about the caps, and tell me I shouldn't do that because it indicates YELLING, don't realize that sometimes, that is exactly what I want it to mean.
