Today is INTERNATIONAL CAPS LOCK DAY

Because @bernjb56 is away overindulging in food & strong drink at Dent I give you this humble offering

TODAY IS INTERNATIONAL CAPS LOCK DAY!
It's a whole day dedicated to something that drives most people crazy—text that is written in ALL CAPITALIZED LETTERS.

International Caps Lock Day was created in 2000 by Derek Arnold of Iowa. This holiday began as a parody. It was intended to poke fun at those individuals who unnecessarily capitalize letters, words, and phrases.The day became so popular with internet users that it is now celebrated twice a year—on June 28 and on October 22.

Hit your caps lock button and celebrate INTERNATIONAL CAPS LOCK DAY!

PARDON? I CAN'T HEAR YOU.

 

When I was at school I had a habit of writing in capital letters. Nowadays (some 30 years on) I still write lists out in capitals for some reason

 

being a drafty i tend to only write in capitals too and with a straight edge . used to be able to write pretty fast with a stencil too .

 

I'm the same, I can't remember when I last wrote anything in lower case lettering. My training was also based on capital letters as they were easier for everyone in the studio to read.

 

OOOOOOOOUUUUCCCCHHHH!!!!! Stepped on a piece of Lego this morning in bare feet.

 

Sorry, you'll have to wait for 'It's International Lego Day" to make that comment.

 

Ex-draugtsmen tend to write in all caps, with those nice capitals you used to find on drawings before CAD took over. They also tend to write "DO NOT SCALE" and "THIRD ANGLE PROJECTION" at the bottom of personal correspondence.

 

Funny that...a habit once learned doesnt go away....

 

Did you used to wash your Rotring pen out in the sink, doing the "Rotring nib shake"?

 

I still do sometimes
