Are you annoyed if someone types a regular message to you in all caps? (1 Viewer)

It's well known that CAPITAL CASE message translates to shouting. It's basic internet culture. It's very irritating when I receive an all caps message. I read it like I'm shouted at and I never appreciate it. I had a professor who replied to his emails with ALL CAPS in a message. I thought he was angry all the time. What are your thoughts on this?

I only do this with friends or some family members (my brother) for fun or when we're really enthusiastic about something.

It's weird when other people (you're not that familiar with or you don't know that well) would send messages in all caps. I would take it as angry as well in that case.

TBH I'M COMPLETELY FINE WITH THAT

 

[Skinnny]

It's highly irritating.

NO TOTALLY NOT; IT DOESNT FEEL LIKE THEY WOULD BE SCREAMING AT ME ALL TIMES BECAUSE OF IT

 

[marlax]

i don't mind it if it's only every once in a while because i imagine someone calmly screaming at me during a conversation and that cracks me up.

if it's all the time then, yea, i'd probably get annoyed lol

 

[Darkyoda47]

A regular message? Yeah

 

[kuro]

It's obvious it wouldn't bother you if you do it.

No... I find it funny actually. Cause If I know what they sound like it just doing funny, if not I just make up weird voice for them depending on how they type.

An admin asking that, i say it's a trap

Yeah. Sort of. I just wonder if the person is holding shift the whole time or just turns on caps lock... Being in post secondary school for, bordering on seven years now, I always use shift and it would become tedious to use shift for a whole sentence or five. I feel stressed when I see a message in all caps, because someone takes something I said as offensive. This would lead me to get upset for little reason and then me not responding, because I have little reason to start a back and forth; I'm not 15 after all 😩 ... But to summarize, I don't like it. It sucks. Its stressful and anger inducing.

I read it like I'm shouted at and I never appreciate it. I had a professor who replied to his emails with ALL CAPS in a message.

Any introductory course that utilized some electronic form of communication always taught me not to use all caps for any assignment or correspondence as it was unprofessional and amateurish. Its funny to see that professors are doing it, even though they have advanced degrees. So sad.

I wouldn't get annoyed I would just wonder if they're actually mad at more or just goofing off.

 

[VillageIdiot]

Kinda stresses me out reading it

 

[Michael]

No.

 

[Les]

I don't mind when people want to hype something/share their excitement (like for a comeback)
But if they write like that on a daily basis... yikes

If I wrote an email to one of my professors in all caps I'm sure they would trash it as soon as they see it

 

[Tickita]

Yes, unless it's a certain group of people at work, because I know they're working on something that requires all caps. They immediately apologize after they realize they replied in all caps.
