Default Typing w caps lock ON

If you type with the caps lock ON , would you please read this blurb I found on the WWW.


THANKYOUVERYMUCH, MIKE

The thing about caps lock;
Typing in caps lock is equivalent to shouting. When you wish to shout a message on the internet, caps lock is used. When a person types an entire message in caps lock it appears that they are shouting, which makes the message as a whole seem less important.

Also, it's basic graphology that lower case letters are easier to read (because eyes can judge difference in letter height very quickly, and caps are all the same size, with no bits that go below the line). Shouting makes it less readable, more difficult.

So here is some simple psychological magic (the art of controlling how people think of you through covert means, also known as Lesser Magic)... if you capitalize sentences and words properly, people will respect you more. Your text will be more pleasurable to read, less hassle, i.e., you are appealing to people's basic laziness and subconscious sense of aesthetics too. Finding text in a familiar format (including grammar and punctuation, etc) makes it easier and nicer to read.

The advantages include being able to make a person take in what you are writing, listen to you more deeply, because they can concentrate on the message, rather than the text itself.
