Have you noticed when lads are angry or impatient they tend to use all caps.

Strangely enough, yes. Is this just a coincidence?

Considering in most chatrooms, IM, or forums, all caps is considered screaming, it makes sense for a lad to do it.

Typing in all caps is known as "shouting." It's rude. I don't do it. Hardly ever.

@ SS: Yes, you can generally give yourself a little pat on the back when your lad switches from lower case to ALL CAPS OK.
You've probably touched a nerve, insulted him, or annoyed him one way or the other. (Unless of course he started out in caps, which some do).

Rule 8.1) Whenever a lad writes you in all caps, you should slap him for bring rude, demanding and offensive.
Rule 8.2) Whenever a lad doesn't make himself clear (or you prefer to not understand him Wink

), you should slap him for not using caps to emphasise the important words.

You must teach your lad to be inconsistently consistent.

Are we all clear on that? Laughing

I Know One Lad Who Writes Like This When He Is Trying To Sound Fancy Or When He Thinks He Has Something Very Important To Say. I Find It More Annoying Than All Caps. I Don't Think His Fiancee Likes It Much Either. Laughing

Slightly off topic of the original question, but somewhat related... I remember reading (from a couple lads) that the reason they use all caps in their scripts is so they can easily distinguish their emails from that of their magas. Basically, theirs are always in all caps. The magas are written like normal human beings write. That way, they can easily go back through the emails and read what their vics wrote.
