Poll: AM I YELLING RIGHT NOW

[Chunko]

HEY GUYS I WAS JUST WONDERING ABOUT WHETHER CAPS LOCK IS YELLING OR NOT. WHENEVER I READ SOMETHING IN ALLCAPS I PERCEIVE IT AS YELLING. I'VE HEARD FROM ALL MY FRIENDS THAT THIS IS THE GENERAL RESPONSE. WHAT DO YOU THINK, IS CAPSLOCK YELLING?

 

[Insanum]

YES. CAPS LOCK IS GENERALLY CLASSED AS YELLING.

Just as this is whispering too.

 

[Sleekgiant]

YES, NOW BE QUIET I'M NURSING A HANGOVER

 

[SonicKoala]

I DON'T SEE HOW YOU COULD PERCEIVE CAPS LOCK AS ANYTHING ELSE BUT YELLING.

 

[S.R.S.]

THIS WHERE I GO FOR CAPS LOCK?

[SUB]YES IT IS[/SUB]

 

[Rathy]

Yes, it is. Hence why I type in a nice, calm indoor voice.

WAIT WHAT DID YOU SAY AGAIN?

 

[Banana Phone Man]

I think it is or at least thats how I see it, unless there is some idiot who thinks speaking "l13k th1s" is cool and has their caps on all the time. Then it's just yelling for attention.

 

[Chunko]

HEY GUYS, HOW COME NO ONE IS VOTING ON THE POLL!!!!!

 

[SwimmingRock]

That seems to be the general intent of people who type in caps, but you might wanna undo the caps on your post and just ask normally. It tends to piss people off, regardless of whether or not it's perceived as yelling. Also, people who type in all caps usually add a lot of unnecessary exclamation marks to their posts. Maybe that's how it got started?

 

[Smokepuddle]

MAYBE CAUSE IT'S JUST COMMON KNOWLEDGE!

[Sleekgiant]

POLLS ARE UNCOOL, OH WAIT I VOTED, BUT REALLY A POLL WAS UNNECESSARY FOR SUCH A QUESTION

 

[Kuchinawa212]

Insert something about cruise control and caps lock

but yes, I see it as yelling. Please don't yell, we like calm discussions

FOR SOME REASON IT'S NOT REGISTERING IDK WHY THOUGH.

 

[Thaius]

EITHER YELLING OR SIMPLY BEING REALLY, REALLY INTENSE ABOUT SOMETHING. SO PRETTY MUCH YEAH, YELLING.

 

[blankedboy]

When I read the title, I imagined it as yelling. So yes.

 

[Trifixion]

I see it as either:

a.) yelling or
b.) another source of irritation to me, namely the primary cause of why certain idiot users at work keep locking themselves out of their computers by entering the wrong password too many times.

 

[Prideful Heretic]

Cruise control for cool.

 

[Sassafrass]

Yes, yes you are.

But now...you are not. Why?

 

[JWW]

JESUS CHRIST HE WAS JUST TRYING TO BE FUNNY IN THE ORIGINAL POST YOU CAN ALL STOP NOW ANYWAY YEAH I THINK THAT CAP LOCKS COUNT AS YELLING AND THIS IS PRETTY OBVIOUS SOMETIMES IT CAN MEAN OTHER THINGS BUT IT RARELY DOES AND PEOPLE USING CAP LOCKS TEND TO RAMBLE ON IN THEIR SENTENCES OH AM I STILL USING CAPS OH FUCK.
