After all these years of CAPS-LOCKS and nocaps is this the new way or have I been missing out on a whole style of scamming:

Bloody irritating to read, gives me a headache. Should I start with slapping or send him a reply in cAPS lOCKS with the first letter of each word in mini-script?

Lads writing with the first letter of each word initialised, has been happening for a long time.

In a couple of emails time, when he is off script, he will be writing normally, if you can call the way they write, normal, these are just prewritten scripted emails he is pasting at the moment.

Yup. Like SP says - old school.
But when your lad comes off-script, point out that you prefer the "capital letter on every word" style of writing (makes it easier to read).
Guaranteed to take him an hour to write any reply to you. Twisted Evil

I think this is done automatically somehow...

^^^I'm pretty sure you can have all the first letters changed to a capital with Word, but I cant see the lads knowing that...

Demand that all vowels and the letters "K R S X and N" always be capitalized, as you have an astigmatisastic eye condition that makes it impossible for you to read those letters in lower case.

My lad of three or four months has suddenly started writing to me like that, having never done it previously. "She" is definitely way off script. Right now she's pretending to be a new person (according to her, someone hacked her account and it's a new criminal writing from that account ) and that's when the writing showed up in that format. I assumed there is a way to do it automatically. . . . but I love the thought of my lad riding the shift key. Smile
