I WILL NOW WRITE IN ALL CAPS FOR NO REASON
THE THING ABOUT WRITING IN ALL CAPS IS THAT, EVEN IF YOU’RE WRITING SOMETHING MEANINGLESS AND MUNDANE, IT STILL SEEMS OBNOXIOUS AND OVERBLOWN. FOR INSTANCE, I COULD SAY:
THE STREAM FLOWS GENTLY INTO THE SEA.
SEE WHAT I MEAN? IT’S LIKE I’M SWEARING AT YOU. OR I COULD SAY:
BABIES ARE PRECIOUS GIFTS.
I MIGHT AS WELL BE BURNING THE FLAG. IT’S ALSO A SIGN THAT THE WRITER IS NUTS. YOU CAN MAKE A REASONABLE STATEMENT SUCH AS:
A HEALTHY BREAKFAST IS A GREAT START TO YOUR DAY.
YET SOMEHOW IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU JUST EXPLAINED HOW THE WORLD IS SECRETLY CONTROLLED BY ELVES. WHICH IT IS. TINY ELVES IN TINY, GREEN FELT SHOES.
