CAPS REALLY?

I see a lot of people /shouting in caps, and I just want to say that people can see, they are not blind, people. All you that /shout in caps, quite frankly its a little annoying. You don't write like that on paper, why type it in the game? :confused:

WHAT? SPEAK UP! I CAN'T READ IN LOWER CASE.

;)

WHAT YEAR IS IT?!

Well, ALL CAPS is supposed to be read louder than normal caps. They're doing it as to not ruin the immersion of their fellow players!

You're welcome!

It is not about what year it is, it is about being literacy correct. Did your school teach you to write in all caps? I think not, so why do it? Unless you grew up at clown bumpkin high school where everyday is a clown day.

WHY IS EVERYONE SHOUTING!!?

Actually... If I think about it. They kinda did teach me to write in all caps.

You see, we had these little papers that we needed to trace over to learn our letters.

Thinking back, we learned all capitals first. Then lower case.

So technically... YEAH, THIS CAN HAPPEN

So, you are referring to preschool i presume? I am referring to middle and high school you see, when you are taught proper grammar not in all caps. I am sure if you turned in work to your teacher in these grades they would return it right back to you. You should not go back to preschool or kindergarden ways, or have you not learned yet? lol

Up for debate really.

Caps will never die.

I just wish people who typed like: "HuRpAdUrP iM bAd Yo" would die.

Buut, you can't win everything

at least it's not one of those people who wrote C A P S B U T W I T H S P A C E S L I K E T H I S lol

Caps Lock is cruise control for cool.

Lmao! Nope it's not cool!

I like you.

OP: I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE YELLING ABOUT!

QUIT YELLING AT ME!

Earth is such a wonderful place where people get "annoyed" with the way letters look :D And just think if back in the day some "rule" was established that THIS was the appropriate way to type/write you'd be "annoyed" by small/non-cap(s) text.

Look, I get it. It can be "annoying" to see "shouty" all caps text but did we really need a thread about this? Maybe we can agree that constant spam or identical shouts within seconds of eachother with no other shouts in-between is more annoying? I for one would much rather see the occasional "MNK LFG CHIMERA PLEASE INVITE ME" instead of...

It annoys me when people who speak English use the autotranslate on NA/EU servers (where English is by and far the dominant language anyways). Or when they talk LIKE it, but not actually use it I.E.: A freaking clue, do you need it?

Worse than caps is the people who use leetspeak. 7|-|3'/'R3 b3'/0|\|D r374RD3D.

Silly OP. Nobody thinks they're typing to blind people.

Caps lock is for deaf people. YOU HAVE TO TYPE LOUDLY AND SLOWLY BECAUSE THEIR EARS DON'T WORK GOOD.

We just don't want to exclude people, you jerk.

My game only lets me shout in caps.

mmmmmm even if English is the major language spoken on the NA/EU servers it doesn't mean it's the ONLY language so it's not stupid to still use the auto translate function... I've seen people on my server speaking in Russian... German, Spanish...French and they didn't use an auto translate... so go figure

THIS BIG ENOUGH LETTERS FOR YA!!?!?

worse than caps is. . .


loose being used for lose. . . .

Why Do People Type Like This? It'S Really Irritating.

I know they are not blind, I meant that some people think that people can't see........that's what they invented glasses for tinkerbell so they could see, and people do not have to type in ALL CAPS!

Lots of immature people playing this game

Why does it really matter? Let people do what they like. If it's ALL CAPS oh well that's how they want to type, get over it.... How does this impact your gameplay?

I'm fine with it.

Between people using caps and using the word "toon" for character i think i have already lost alot of hope at this point.

Statistics have shown that using CAPS all the time in chat actually makes you 77% cooler and 238% more badass.

I'd do it myself but I just can't shake my old fashioned fondness for decent spelling and grammar.

SE should forcibly lowercase all the messages. I'll go adding this to that quality of life thread.

Op, I just have to ask you one question and one question only. EXPLOSIONS?!

Oh and also:

On all caps, lock.. lols..

I'm blind and the all caps shouts are refreshing on the eyes if not spammed.

The auto-translate is better than abbreviations, but no, I think it's better for people to not SHOUT in caps. Spamming anything we can all agree is annoying.

I just add them to the blist if they're spamming in caps. One line every now and then doesn't bother me. Meh
