For those of you that haven't yet checked out the posts in the Q&A section -- you should go there when you have a minute. So many tips from some of the moderators about how to navigate this website. Here is another tip: Did you know that using all capital letters when typing is considered shouting or yelling? When you do this, it is best that you make sure you "need" to shout to be heard...otherwise you are just yelling and eventually -- folks will stop listening (reading)

For those that have not been to the Q&A section -- you should go see if there is anything new you can learn form post created by moderators.

Interesting to read these comments. Thank you. Sandra.

Oh thank you for clearing that up---I thought it was for emphasizing a word or phrase so that is how I've been using it---when I do use it. I'm just not up on tech stuff.

It can be used to emphasize a single word -- like one might do in conversation. But it should be used sparingly.

I use occasionally capital letters with a word in order to emphasize. It is whole sentences or post in capital that is considered shouting.

We have many posts...some will help with how and where to post. One will teach you how to edit your own posts. So much to learn here...

Exception, we always talk to lucypiwow in capitals and she writes in capitals as she has low vision.

This is true. I find using some of the built-in features for low vision more effective...but we do like to take special care of those that have very special needs.
That said, I believe we are all special and I know we all have needs. :)
