EMPHASIS and yelling!!!
The IS no PUNCTUATION in SPEECH and speaking. Maybe you have noticed.
But there IS emphasis in speaking by leaning more weight to certain words or using differing pauses and cadences. Maybe you have noticed.

But there IS NO RULE that Capital Letter EQUALS yelling ANYWHERE but in Chat Rooms.
We are not in 1 of those. Therefore I am not yelling unless I add AT LEAST 1 exclamation point.
But I am only definitely yelling if there are THREE exclamation points.
Those are the rules. Ask your Grammar Teachers.

I'm sure this thread will be locked soon, and I hope so because I've not seen so much discussion of a post so stupid for a long time here.

So in the name of dragging it down, I think you will have to die on your silly hill catalyst, because the difference between emphasis and 'shouting' is substantially insignificant. Punctuation exists to give the written word the nuanced meaning, structure and rhythm of speech. How do you imagine a spoken conversation would sound with someone who is emphasising in the way you do? And more to the point, have you ever read a text (not written by an internet madman) that uses capitalisation for emphasis in the way that you apparently believe it should? Is it possible that ALL the editors and typographers of the world hold an INCORRECT opinion and ONLY YOU understand the TRUE use of punctuation?

Too much effort. Just don't read what I say and agree with me.

And CAPITALIZING 1 or 2 words in a sentence is done for EMPHASIS of those words and has been for our entire lives.


Good evening, could you please refrain from using quite so many capitalised words for emphasis, please? It really is quite unbecoming of you.

If you really must use emphasis then please use italics. Thanks awfully.
