International CAPS Lock Day

Happy International CAPS Lock Day! While no keyboard really feels complete without the quintessential caps lock, it’s important to remember how words in all capital letters can be perceived. 

The rules of digital etiquette often encourage you to avoid using all capital letters to avoid the appearance of shouting at the person you are writing to. Especially among younger generations, the use of all capital letters implies a forcefulness that can be seen as rude or angry.

If you are someone who wants to celebrate, feel free to LOCK YOUR CAPS AND TYPE EXCLAMATIONS TO YOUR HEART’S CONTENT! Just make sure the person you are writing to understands why you’re celebrating!
