READING SOMETHING WRITTEN IN ALL CAPS CAN BE TOUGH. LIKE THIS, FOR INSTANCE. IT SEEMS LIKE I’M YELLING, DOESN’T IT? ISN’T THIS GETTING HARD TO READ?
Hopefully the point is clear: If you overuse all caps, people will have a hard time discerning where the emphasis should be in your writing — and they might just think you’re furious. A well-placed all caps word can help you make a point — but if you overdo it, you’ll just look like you left the caps lock on, or worse. So, how did WRITING LIKE THIS become associated with shouting, and when should you use all caps?
