When Lucy joined us she explained that she writes in Caps, because of her eye sight. I do not find Caps offense, however, some others may. I also do not want Lucy to feel unwelcome because of her eye problems. Thanks.

Thanks for explaining. Some people write in CAPS b/c it is certainly easier for an inexperienced typist, also.

Thank you also for caring. H&*
I don't mind caps either, my best friend is losing her sight so uses all caps so it never offends me.

Her using CAPS is fine with me. Just as long as she is here.

Thanks for sticking up for Lucy. I think CAPS are fine also. It's wonderful she can do what she does.
My father-in-law lost his eye sight and I know how hard he tried to live a normal life. We need to cheer her on and show her much support. God Bless, Judy *4U

I had to laugh when you spoke of your typing and spelling errors. This is one thing in my life that I am famous for!! Haha!! H&*
Katydid, I see your cans of worms, where do you purchase these? Since there are few jobs here in the USA, I may have to have some of them to feed us. Have always been told their full of protien. Hugs.

Nor do I. I think perhaps it was some of the newer members who did not realize this so now they are informed. I can remember doing the same when I first got my cp. Caps were easier for me to see. Didn't take my grand children long to set me straight & tell me to quit shouting at them LOL but for some it's the only way they can read them because of their eyesight. *

Lillian, how about these Grandchildren and their computer savvy. In the older days we taught them. Now they are teaching us. Haha!! I do pretty good with the black print, however, I find the blue hard to read. I have my nose up against the monitor. H&*

I personally think that complaining about caps is so unnecessary. Spelling and punctuation are not always right-too fast fingers and whatever. We aren't being graded. Texting doesn't even use whole words all the time. I certainly print in all caps. Times change, and I think it's fine. doesn't make me feel like I'm being yelled at. I also find it easier to read. Jo

I can't see with my glasses or without my glasses and have a lot of floaters. CAPS ARE FINE WITH ME.
1 comment
Bless your heart--I have heard about floaters. That must be miserable for you. I hate to admit this, however, I have put my glasses on top of my head, then run around the place trying to find my glasses. Haha!! H&*

Caps are fine with me. Maybe we all could write in caps from time to time to help them who can't see as well as others. I think i might be one of them some day soon maybe sooner then like to be. HUGS TO LUCY AND FLOWERS TO YOU ALL.

I have to confess that I often skip these "big" postings because they are not comfortable to read- capitals are not made for "flowing text" but I really do not call this a problem worth discussing.
By the way, do you know that you can switch your system/ monitor settings to a bigger or clearer display?
You can try this via start menu, settings, in german it is called "input-helper" and has an icon looking like a person in a wheelchair.
You can play around with different styles of contrast and find a setting which makes it easier to work with and shows pages more clearly.

It would be very kind of you to let Lucy know this--she may find it very helpful. I think anytime one of our "Cuties" is misunderstood that it is worth trying to help them. That was all I intended to do. H&*

I feel the same as all the other people. No problem with the caps. Maybe I will be another to use it one day as I only have one eye that can see. I also know how bad it is if you cannot see. Without my specs I'm useless and cannot read a word. Lucy please stay with us and KEEP ON WRITING IN CAPS. LUV U. ANNATJIE
