You're not going to be banned or even warned for improper capitalization, but come on guys! The 'shift' key is right there in the lower left hand corner of your keyboard! And guess what? It's also in the lower right hand corner! How cool is that?

So please at least capitalize those 'I's! Unless that is if you're trying to be "avant garde" in your poetry and pretend that refusing to capitalize the 'I' in 'I' somehow makes your poem profound :P

But it does, Nate! It totally does.

And I use capslock automatically. O_o It's easier for me? Otherwise, you have to press down one two keys at the same time, and use capslock just means that you have to hit it three times. Yeah... I don't even notice it. Weird.

also if you write like this, then mods are very unlikely to consider your application, if you want to eventually apply as a greeter or instructor. if i write like this, this shows laziness, an we want to make a good impression. just sayin.

Snoink, don't get yourself banned from the mods. You're too amazing for that.

But yes, I find it terribly annoying when people don't capitalize. Especially names of people and the begining of sentences.

I prefer using the caps lock too! And yes, it's strange how automatic that does become. I've not used shift before... it would be quite interesting to see which is most commonly used.

Y'all use the 'caps lock' key??? I used to do that a really long time ago, but migrated to the shift key around fifth grade. It's much faster! But, to each their own :P

The shift key is way easier, and faster. I could never get used to pressing the caps lock key. This calls for an official poll!

How do y'all use the 'caps lock' key. That just sound really hard to me and would seem to take forever to use. Let me try, without erasing.

I can't believe that this is actually not as hard as I thought. JUst slower then I would like. WOW, whoops, I still use the 'shift' key from habit at times. :S.


I don't know how y'all do it. It just takes so much longer.

I don't even know what I use. *tries*
Oh, apparently I use the shift key. It's a bit weird using the Caps Lock Key. Yep, it feels weird.

Hmm, lets see what using the caps lock button feels like. Is it weird? Is it odd?

Yeah, it's super odd, haha. It's easy to turn on, but I forget to turn it off, or just press space after the letter. :)

I only type with two or three fingers, so the pressing two keys at once is pretty easy for me. But even though I don't use the whole home row thing, I don't have to look at the keyboard (though I am a bit faster if I do) and can type way faster than most people I know. :) I never did get used to the home row - I was typing this way since I was little, and old habits are hard to break.

(I suppose I should hit caps to sign my name though, haha. It would be a bit easier... :))

Really, shift and Caps are both insanely easy.

Just move your fingers.

You walk into this room at your own risk, because it leads to the future, not a future that will be but one that might be. This is not a new world, it is simply an extension of what began in the old one. It has patterned itself after every dictator who has ever planted the ripping imprint of a boot on the pages of history since the beginning of time. It has refinements, technological advances, and a more sophisticated approach to the destruction of human freedom. But like every one of the super states that preceded it, it has one iron rule: logic is an enemy and truth is a menace.
