CAPS REALLY?

[Sub-Xero]

Earth is such a wonderful place where people get "annoyed" with the way letters look 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...

I was gonna throw a funny gil seller shout in there but I don't want to get in trouble for anything even if I was going to use a fake, off the top of my head website.

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.

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

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.
