why, i hear you ask.
because they invented capital letters.
now i ask you, why are they necessary?
seriously though, think about it.
name me one instance where they are absolutely necessary.
sure, in some cases, a nice ol' capital X can look pretty badass.
and in other cases capitals can neaten up a bland-looking paragraph.
strangely enough, a nice ol' picture of dr phibes can make
any paragraph look wickedgnarlyradical.
my main gripe with capital letters is the ease to misuse them:
- caps lock - TYPING WORDS IN CAPS LOCK MAKES ME READ IT AS IF SOMEONE IS YELLING AT ME.
- caps lock (feat. shift key) - fORGETTING THAT YOU HAVE CAPS LOCK ON, YET STILL ATTEMPTING TO USE CAPITALS IN THE CORRECT PLACES MAKES YOU LOOK ABOUT AS INTELLIGENT AS A SNOWMAN MADE OF HUMAN FAECES. fOOL.
- capitalising every word - Not Everything Is A Title, Jackass.
- capitalising every second letter - wOuLd YoU hApPeN tO hAvE a MeNtAl ReTaRdAtIoN?
once, just once, think of the children.
