Letter case usage

1. Do the way that upper case (capital) and lower case letters are use effect the way you perceive a message?

2. In terms of letter case, what's your preferred usage?

1. To me, ALL CAPS feels like an urgent message, whereas "all lowercase" is a more casual message.

2. If there's no rush I try to use "proper" capitalization. In something like a text or mobile message, I may not even use caps at all (to communicate quicker.) I rarely use ALL CAPS. I use CamelCase for some of my usernames on MMOs.

How about a kitten report with some photos?

1. Yes - Caps = Urgent (unless it's Kowalski), all lowercase = lazy.
2. I prefer to be grammatically correct. Predictive text and autocorrect make this easier.

i think i picked up the habit of forgoing the shift key, for social media at least, when i started using twitter about 10 years ago.

i just realized that this is a lot easier, and i don't care if my social media posts are properly capitalized. plus it goes along with my overall personal credo of having given up on trying hard at anything.

Since I dream of becoming a published novelist, I like to be careful of how I write. So I do my best to keep the letter cases apart.

I use UPPERCASE when I'm trying to make people laugh or stretch a comedic point, otherwise I try to use traditional cases
