International Caps Lock Day

[NightHawk21]

So today it turns out that today (June 28) is International Caps Lock Day. ESCAPISTS SHOW YOUR PRIDE IN POSTING IN CAPS. SCREAM YOUR TEXT INTO THE SCREEN. (Its too early to come up with the rest of an inspirational message and I don't have any coffee so fill it in in your head).

SO WHAT DO YOU THINK ESCAPRISTS? WILL YOU HONOUR THIS GREAT HOLIDAY?

International Caps Lock Day? Okay then *hits caps lock*

Hmmmmm, well this is annoying. Why would I want to be forced to hold down the shift key for lower case? It makes much more sense to leave caps lock off. *hits caps lock again*

Yeah, there we go much better.

I USE CAPS LOCK A LOT AT WORK, SO IT IS NOT COMPLETELY USELESS.

ISN'T IT FUNNY THAT IF YOU WRITE ANYTHING USING CAPS LOCK IT MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'RE SHOUTING IT ANGRILY. HERE'S A FEW EXAMPLES:

I LOVE PUPPIES AND HOPE THEY GO TO GOOD HOMES!
I WOULD LIKE TO GO TO THE SHOPS TODAY!

CAPSLOCK IS A USELESS KEY SHIFT DOES THE EXACT SOME THING.
ALSO TYPING IN ALL CAPS MAKES YOU LOOK OBNOXIOUS AS HELL!

THE ONE DAY I GET TO USE CAPS LOCK AND I AM STUCK AT WORK. DAMN IT ALL.

OH WELL, I AM PLEASED TODAY ANYWAY. WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW WHY? TOO BAD, YOU'RE HEARING IT ANYWAY. TOMORROW IS FRIDAY AND THE DAY I PICK UP MY NEW XBOX. IT'S THAT STAR WARS ONE. THE ONE WITH THE GOLD CONTROLLER AND KINECT.

I AM INCREDIBLY HAPPY.

I'M ALSO JUST FILLING IN WORDS SO I CAN CONTINUE TO TYPE IN CAPS. HOORAY FOR CAPS LOCK DAY!

International Cock Slap Day, eh?
Awesome, I'm off to slap some cock right now!

Caps Lock is a waste of a keyboard key. It should just be replaced by another modifier key. I need a Hyper button, like on the old Lisp Machine keyboards.

First of all, let me honor the holiday, by pressing Caps Lock

and now i'll answer you - caps lock is really useful in some situations. maybe not enough to have it at it's current position, but certainly i wouldn't want to have it gone. writing code? need some variable in all caps - easy. need to write long string of numbers and capital letters - by my guest, trying to hit the shift key without making a % or (, i'll just laugh and press my caps lock.

moving it would be a better idea, though. i don't know who said "you know where we need the key that switches the case of everything you type? right next to two of the most commonly hit keys on the keyboard!" and why do people still go along with this. sure it's useful, but not that useful to have it next to 'a' and shift. if it around to the right alt or maybe in the place of scroll lock (the most useless key), then it'd be fine.

i hit caps lock, but apparently i had already nudged it in tf2 earlier today. probably not keeping with the spirit of this holiday?

THE INTERNET IS A MUCH ANGRIER PLACE ON CAPSLOCK DAY.
