DO YOU THINK ITS rude TO TYPE ALL IN CAPS?

Question

I do it when Im angry

Answer 1

it tells the reader you are shouting.

Answer 2

If you are writing a letter or chatting with someone and you are typing lower case most of the time and when you stress something or are angry, and you use all caps, I dont think it is rude. You are just stressing something. It is more about what you say than how you type it. So if I were to say I LOVE YOUR OUTFIT! it would be a nice thing to say and wouldnt be rude. but if I say I THINK YOUR HAIR IS UGLY it would be a mean thing and rude!

The Blue Screen of Death (sometimes called "bluescreen", "stop error" or just abbreviated as "BSoD") is a popular name for the screen displayed by Microsoft's Windows operating system when it cannot recover from, or is in danger of being unable to recover from, a system error. There are two Windows error screens that are both referred to as the blue screen of death, with one (Windows NT 4/2000/XP) being significantly more serious than the other (Windows 9x). There are several causes of the blue screen popping up. It can be a poorly-written device driver, bad memory, damaged registry or usage of incompatible versions of DLLs.

The blue screen of death in one form or another has been present in all Windows operating systems since Windows version 3.1. It is the successor of the less well-known black screen of death that occurs in OS/2 as well as MS-DOS. In early builds of Windows Vista it was complemented with a red screen of death, used for boot loader errors.

The blue screen of death also occurs in Microsoft's home desktop operating systems Windows 95, 98, and Me. Here it is less serious, but more common. In these operating systems, the BSoD is the main way for virtual device drivers to report errors to the user. It is internally referred to by the name of "_VWIN32_FaultPopup". A Windows 9x/Me BSoD gives the user the option either to restart or continue. However, VxDs do not display BSoDs frivolously — they usually indicate a problem which cannot be fixed without restarting the computer, and hence after a BSoD is displayed the system is usually unstable or unresponsive.

The most common reason for BSoDs is that problems occur with incompatible versions of DLLs. This cause is sometimes referred to as DLL hell. Windows loads these DLLs into memory when they are needed by application programs; if versions are changed, the next time an application loads the DLL it may be different from what the application expects. These incompatibilities increase over time as more new software are installed, and is one of the main reasons why a freshly-installed copy of Windows is more stable than an "old" one.

In Windows 95 and 98, a BSoD occurred when the system attempted to access the file "c:\con\con" on the hard drive. This was often inserted on websites to crash users' machines. Microsoft has released a patch for this.

The BSoD can appear if a user ejects a removable medium while it is being read on 9x/ME. This is particularly common while using Microsoft Office: if a user simply wants to view a document, he might eject a floppy disk before exiting the program. Since Microsoft Office always creates a temporary file in the same directory, it will trigger a BSoD upon exiting because it will attempt to delete the file on the disk that is no longer in the drive.

This type of blue screen is no longer seen in Windows NT, 2000, and XP. In the case of these less serious software errors, the program may still crash, but it will not take down the entire operating system with it due to better memory management and decreased legacy support. In these systems, the "true" BSoD is seen only in cases where the entire operating system crashes.

I do think its rude...even though I do it myself and have an extremely bad habit of typing in caps due to the fact that I use all caps at work...its strange...I guess because I am so used to seeing others using lower case that when I see upper case I am feeling like I am in trouble...good luck!!

Answer 5

I do it when i am angry also to let a person on other side know i am not playing. Also i used it alot when i want to put emphasis on a certain word so it sound important. For example if someone ask question about some disease. My answer will be close to some thing like "Do us all a favor and GO SEE DOC ASAP!" Here i definitely didnt mean to sound angry or with an attitude. I just wanted to let that person know that it is important for him/her to follow this advice, its important they read it or first thing they notice when they check their answers.

Answer 6

If you type in caps all the time, it IS considered rude. It makes it harder for others to read fluidly. And in netiquette, typing in caps means you're yelling. But, if you were going to make a point and want to "yell" a small portion of your text, IT'S OKAY!

Answer 7

To use caps means that You shout:

According to some old rules of online chatting (n-etiquette).
ppl that know that will find it rude if the use is inappropriate.

thx 4 reading my post

Answer 8

I don't think it's rude... it makes things stand out more so if you're angry and writing a nasty email or something similar and you want a point to be noticed then it will work.

Answer 9

If you are trying to get noticed, what else can you do? Not rude at all. Just making a point.

Answer 11

CAPS are ok for single words as a method of exclamation but NOT FOR ENTIRE sentences as that is rude and considered as yelling.
