Just A Reminder
Capitalizing words for emphasis makes you look like a moron.
Can it be done ironically, for humor? Absolutely, though even then, it should be done sparingly, if at all. But too many people think it's okay to capitalize words, or type in boldface or italics, in order to highlight certain words or phrases in an attempt to get their point across. It's not. No two ways about it. Because otherwise you END UP with sentences that look like this. And doesn't that look stupid? If you read something written in such a clearly cumbersome manner, would you say to yourself, "Wow, this person must really know what they're talking about, since SO MUCH of what they WROTE is in BIG LETTERS. I completely trust their political/social/artistic opinions." Or would you say, "Wow, this person looks like they need some kind of home health care. Is it maybe just a child masquerading online as an adult? Impossible to tell." You're likely to choose the latter, unless you're the kind of simpleton who likes big letters and think they look pretty, in which case you probably haven't read most of this.
Anyway, I know you're all busy. I just wanted to offer a little tip. Thanks.
