The "a" key fell off of my keyboard, but the contacts still work, so in order to type I have to keep sticking my finger into the "a" hole.

I briefly think about changing their article from all caps to a normal title but… Then the laziness in me kicks in and I leave it

People who can't be bothered to capitalize properly just hit Caps Lock and bang away. Annoying, at best, and insulting at worst.

Disrespectful.

I WILL HAVE YOU KNOW THAT I PRESS THE SHIFT KEY FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL CAPITAL LETTER.

I DO NOT USE THE CAPS LOCK KEY. EACH CAPITAL LETTER I TYPE IS INDIVIDUALLY HAND CRAFTED.

YOU HAVE OFFENDED MY HONOR!!!11!!!

you could always do the opposite and write in all lower case and you could even leave out punctuation to save even more time and hassle but of course youd drive your readers crazy

Sometimes I type a word in caps to emphasize it.

Personally I don't think of caps as yelling, I think of it as emphasizing. And sometimes people type with cap lock by mistake. But I know some people get very upset or offended, like someone's really yelling.

If you're seeing a lot of "yelling" maybe it's just someone trying to be heard, or trying to emphasize a point or get attention.

I haven't noticed it, but NOW I'll be on the lookout.

Is this one of those Dyson things, a ceiling fan, an oscillating fan, or one of those Hollywood production models?
