45. Random words capitialized is not normal.

Nov 2015

I was curious as to if there was a purpose. It appears that there is not, it is a just an affectation of the person that I asked about it. Like ee cummings occasionally wrote in all lower case. There was a poster, like a decade ago, who choose to use no punctuation. Unlike Segami, that person was generally an ass.

I'm frankly surprised at the number of people that seem to fell so strongly about it.

Simple question, simple answer.

It doesn't mean anything.

He was so on in his closing comment during that section (as well as the rest). Ed Suspicious Nov 2015 #53

Out of curiosity, why do you feel the need to shout one or two words in your titles? Thor_MN Nov 2015 #15

It catches my attention. I don't object to it in the least. Enthusiast Nov 2015 #17

It makes me feel like I'm reading the Voter's Guide for a downballot election. winter is coming Nov 2015 #22

Are you conducting a survey? Segami Nov 2015 #18

Survey? I have noticed the out of place capitialiazation of words and wondered what it is about? Thor_MN Nov 2015 #23

I really don't feel Segami Nov 2015 #33

Just curious, I'll assume that you do it when you talk out loud too. Thor_MN Nov 2015 #34

What I imagine your speaking voice to be has no relevance to the real world. Thor_MN Nov 2015 #47

This is a fascinating example of derailing a topic. Major Hogwash Nov 2015 #76

Nice, why don't you derail some more by posting some more swear words? Thor_MN Nov 2015 #83

I always have a nice day. Major Hogwash Nov 2015 #84

That's good, nice to hear. Thor_MN Nov 2015 #86

What is "out of place" about capitalization? JDPriestly Nov 2015 #41

Random words capitialized is not normal. Thor_MN Nov 2015 #45

That sounds insulting, Thor. Tourette's, and assuming Segami shouts random words. senz Nov 2015 #48

There's no reason for you to care, Senz. Thor_MN Nov 2015 #62

I pay more attention to the content of an OP. Can't say that I consider how a title is sabrina 1 Nov 2015 #20

Hmm. Thor_MN Nov 2015 #25

Maybe because it didn't address the content of the OP and seemed like an odd question to me? sabrina 1 Nov 2015 #27

An odd question about an odd writing style? Thor_MN Nov 2015 #31

The Romans shouted everything! immoderate Nov 2015 #54

Seems like you were trying to hijack an important thread, & get it's meaning lost over trivia peacebird Nov 2015 #56

I said that it looked to me like text form of Tourette's. Thor_MN Nov 2015 #61

Clearly you offer nothing of substance to this discussion. Buh bye! peacebird Nov 2015 #63

Like I said, check the mirror. Thor_MN Nov 2015 #64

WHY not? Why NOT use caps to express emotion? JDPriestly Nov 2015 #35

Like I said upthread, to me, it looks like Tourette's... Thor_MN Nov 2015 #37

No. There is no rational or irrattional answer. JDPriestly Nov 2015 #42

All evidence to the contrary. Thor_MN Nov 2015 #49

You seemed to have touched on a tender subject. SunSeeker Nov 2015 #89
