rudness

[Bird]

I guess it just depends on what you get used to. I would find it harder and slower to type in all lower case, but like some others have said, I don't mind reading in all lower case. But I don't like all caps, not because it's rude, but because it's slower for me to read; takes more effort, and I'm opposed to anything that takes any effort on my part./w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

<font color=blue>i was wondering how people felt about certain people (like me) who tend to type in lower case?</font color=blue>

Fine with me. Interestingly, I once read that lower case letters convey more information that upper case. Lower case letters extend below the line, and give the eye more data to use to determine what the letter actually is. All upper case is tiring to read, because you have to work more to differentiate which letters you are seeing.

My personal preference is mixed case.. helps to determine where sentences start. I think only all upper case is considered rude. All lower case is considered okay. The stuff the kids do with AlTeRnAtInG CaSe drives met nuts, but kidz will be kidz! /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

I am with you. I PREFER typing the correct way, and find it harder to read all lower case, and really hard to read all CAPS, but the hardest of all is with no spaces or paragraphs.

But being able to type, these are only preferences.

I'd much rather read a hard to read post in lower case from someone who knows lots about tractors and less about typing, than read a nice post from me who knows bugger all about tractors /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

I just realized that after reading your post. I never thought much about it but when I read I actually only see the first letter of the word and the shape of the rest of it lets me know what it is till Hillbilly screwed me up with his post. It is interesting what I learn on a tractor board. Take care and thanks for the enlightenment.

Well, I'm lazy as heck so I seldom bother to grab for that doggone caps key ... but I'm not trying to be rude ... just crude (or is that folksy).
People who use the caps key improperly however ... either to make words look weird or to lock it in caps ... should be pummelled with IBM Selectric balls until they learn proper netiquette.

With the exception of ALL UPPER CASE, which somehow hurts my ears, none of it makes no nevermind to me.

I've been impressed with this board from the beginning that spelling, grammar and punctuation in no way interfere with folks exchanging thoughts and information. Not too many places you can go these days where somebody doesn't take the high road and get all righteous about the small stuff.

TBN is the breath of fresh air.
