Greg, i heard you were fired by Brian, is this true? Serious question by the way.

"just as you train your ears, if you wish to, NOT to be hurt by bad words, foul language, Cliff Richard songs,"
I know you're just trying to make a point.... but Cliff Richard's music actually operates on a carrier wave frequency of such high irritation and offensiveness, even deaf people go "WHAT THE FUCK!?!?" when they hear it.
No one can train themselves to enjoy Cliff Richard, unless they start wearing beige and watch copious levels of Oprah.

Indeed.

Wow. This may be an old thread but I find it fascinating. I've been aware of an old standard on the internet, or a taboo about ALL CAPS when typing but I thought I was the only one who thought it LAUGHABLE, JUVENILE, and UTTERLY REDICULOUS.
Come on, people should be able to type in whatever characters they wish, just like different people have different handwriting styles.
I personally hate reading typed words. I like handwritten notes better, but people say that they can't read MY handwriting at all. Alot of people have trouble reading other people's handwriting. It's just part of life, I mean we wouldn't think of imposing some international standard for handwriting on society, would we?
If the nutter who wrote and said that ALL CAPS hurts his eyes and his feelings, I would hate to see what MY handwriting would do to him!

[QUOTE][QUOTENAME]Queen Archivist wrote: [/QUOTENAME]IALSO... capital letters are more universal. More people around the world can understand English written in CAPITALS, than they can in small writing.

That's only partially true- as someone pointed out, maybe that's relevant to people who use different alphabets, but the rest... definitely not! It's like English who think that non-English speakers (who DON'T speak English) will understand them when they speak louder and slower...
If you do speak English (even if it's not your mother tongue) it DOESN'T MATTER if letters are big are small. Same rules apply as for English native speakers- and as Bohardy stated, that is slightly more difficult to read.
I also find reading capital letters more difficult and I even find myself skipping through paragraphs- and sometimes that way one can miss a valid point...
Greg, you're writing a lot, emphesising a lot, as if trying to ensure that your point is put across as precisely as possible. Am I right?
If so- NOT writing in capital letters could also be a way to get the same result. For me, anyway.

[QUOTE][QUOTENAME]Queen Archivist wrote: [/QUOTENAME]I personally am hurt by the crap that people talk, MUCH MORE than by the appearance of writing on a page, and its form. People who say "proply" and "probly" and "pacificly" and "fing" and "fink" and "summink" and "nuffin" and "feef" when what they really mean is..."properly" and "probably" and "specifically" and "thing" and "think" and "something" and "nothing" and "thief" That kind of thing GENUINELY hurts me and pains my ears and brain. I hate it.

Greg, you forgot the word "fot" (thought), commonly used in such luminary programs like Eastenders....
example -
Character a - "Was it you who dunnit?"
Character b - "Yeah"
Character a - "I fot so."
Anyway, I think most people on here have got so used to your style of posting that it doesnt really bother us anymore. After all, they are just words on a screen at the end of the day.

I've never had a problem with people writing in uppercase, not bothering to check spelling annoys me.
