Lol ditto to ALL of the above!!!

Make sure you have correct spelling.
No TXT typing
Dont talk about too many subjects in once sentance


Hands up who wants to make this part of the terms and conditions of the forum?

For example:
"We don't care if you do any of the above - just keep it friendly "
Some people need reminding of that last one every so often

Lol have to agree on you with that one Charly!! Maybe we can form the pedantic group.... hey you should have been a teacher And another predictive texter here too.

I see the caps things as different depending on the context of what is being said. For example.... "Your wee girl is SO cute!!!" is emphasis but if it was something like "I do NOT agree with what you've done" I'd probably get offended as I see it as really quite strong and forceful.

Think it depends on the words being used

And I do believe I may be forced to break into song sometime soon....

I don't use text speak either. I'm a predictive girl

And as for the caps - If it's all in caps, it's yelling.
If there's the odd word, it's for emphasis.
All depends on the context of the post though.

And as for the no capitals/punctuation/sentences running into one another with no kind of sense (ie: talking about three different subjects in one sentence, or with "..." between each topic - not giving it it's own new line of text) just bugs me.

Once or twice is fine. It makes sense as most of us would be guilty of typing with one hand and while holding a baby.

I always just type/text as if I was actually talking face to face with that person.

Yeah how do you get those emoticons? I DO like your emoticons ...just not that one lol

And back to the topic at hand here, I think it really depends on the topic being discussed.

I generally use capitals when emphasising a specific word or phrase ....OR if Lucas has pressed caps lock and I've typed too much to go back and re-do it (I'm lazy)

I've never really read capitals as 'yelling' unless the context was a bit off & I could sense a bit of sarcasm or negativity.

Hope that makes sense]]> Mon, 12 May 2008 20:40:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17147&PID=381572&title=caps-in-posts-thoughts#381572 <![CDATA[CAPS in posts - thoughts? : It depends on the words for me....]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17147&PID=381563&title=caps-in-posts-thoughts#381563 Author: Andie

It depends on the words for me.  If someone's put a congrats kind of thing all in caps, I figure that they're just very happy for the person.  If it's about somone's own frustrations, I figure they're really angry.  If it's a negative comment about or directed to somene else in caps I read that as being said in a snarky and, well, a mean way.

Ditto

Also all little letters (and/or no punctuation) = Mummy typing one handed with bubs in other arm

I agree - one word would be used as an emphasis.
A whole post is irritating and although it looks like yelling I generally figure it's a newbie who doesn't know anything about message board etiquette.]]> Mon, 12 May 2008 18:11:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17147&PID=381339&title=caps-in-posts-thoughts#381339 <![CDATA[CAPS in posts - thoughts? : I tend to read it in the context...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17147&PID=381336&title=caps-in-posts-thoughts#381336 Author: pepsi

I tend to read it in the context of what the person is typing - So to me it could be either of what you are suggesting. Problem is if someone types in all CAPS all the time it's a bit confusing to distinguish I guess..

If I was using CAPS for example, I would interpret these as follows:

YOU ARE SO COOL! (would be me yelling out a statement)

You are SO cool! (could be either nice, or a little sarcastic)

Yup same here. One word = Emphasis. Whole post = Yelling and annoying]]> Mon, 12 May 2008 18:05:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17147&PID=381332&title=caps-in-posts-thoughts#381332 <![CDATA[CAPS in posts - thoughts? : It depends, If it&#039;s just...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17147&PID=381324&title=caps-in-posts-thoughts#381324 Author: kebakat

It depends,

If it's just one random word in a sentence I see it as an attention drawing thing.

If it's whole sentences or the whole thing I see it as completely irritating to read. Sometimes yelling but mostly just irritating lol]]> Mon, 12 May 2008 17:59:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17147&PID=381324&title=caps-in-posts-thoughts#381324 <![CDATA[CAPS in posts - thoughts? : following on from something Bombshell...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17147&PID=381319&title=caps-in-posts-thoughts#381319 Author: Bizzy

following on from something Bombshell said...

what do you think when you see CAPITAL LETTERS in a post?

do you see it as YELLING? or a way of drawing attention to a particualr WORD? or do you see it another way completely?]]> Mon, 12 May 2008 17:54:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17147&PID=381319&title=caps-in-posts-thoughts#381319
