I’m setting a new trend.

Just wait until my new clothing trend of sandals, black dress socks, polyester shorts with stretch band waist, truckers caps, business on the side and party in back hair cut, tuxedo T-shirt, and k-tel sun glass shades are in.

I GET EMAILS FOR WORK ALL THE TIME WHERE THE ENTIRE BODY OF THE EMAIL IS TYPED LIKE THIS BECAUSE BOOMERS DONT KNOW HOW TO UNDO CAPS LOCK



No stupid shite, it’s because they are operating on dual monitors and the software they are using alternately only works in CAPS. Likely an MIS program.

No one gives a shite if you’re annoyed or your feelings are hurt cause you think they are yelling. Change your pad, put your big boy britches on and quit being a millennial bitch. Otherwise you’ll never get out of the warehouse.

It must be frustrating to have to throw an entire sheet away when you type the wrong thing on your typewriter

Commonly used for emphasis in plain text environments, when bold, italics, and underlining are not available to direct focus or indicate inflection to a certain word(s) in a message. Or Samsung.

I have my caps lock on all day because that's how you annotate drawings. I turn it off when I post here so that your vagina doesn't get sore. YOU'RE WELCOME!!!

While I am stuck in the middle of these two warring factions the millennial's communication via social media bugs me more.

The all caps words are for generally one of two reasons.

1. they are using it to emphasize the particular word, I do it here sometimes simply because bold or underlining is more of a pain in the arse on TD.

2. they if they are on their phone they tapped the caps button twice without realizing it had the word typed before they noticed and didn't feel like deleting and typing it again.

My PawPaw would pay me a nickel to hold down the shift key so he could type out all-caps threatening letters to government officials and people with different beliefs than his. I've always admired what older generations were able to accomplish without the modern convenience of social media.

AND SOMETIMES I WILL BE CREATING A DESIGN MASTERPIECE IN AUTOCAD THAT MILLENNIALS CAN'T AFFORD AND I TYPE A RESPONSE WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE SCREEN AND DON'T FEEL LIKE RETYPING IT in small caps.
