Why Some People Type Like This Where Every Word Is Capitalized. Where On Earth Did People Pick This Habit Up And Why Do They Think It's Correct To Type Like This? Seriously, I Don't Get It. Know What I'm Saying?

Looking At You, Eric Ebron, But In Fairness To EE, Lots Of Folks Type Like This. What Do You Guys Think?

Is this a thing? I haven't really seen it. But if I did, I agree, I'd be highly annoyed and wouldn't read it. Actually if yours had been much longer I'd have given up.

You Were One Of The Ones Who I Specifically Had In Mind When I Started This Thread Because I Knew It Would Annoy You As Someone With Journalism Training.

And Yes, It's Definitely A Thing. The Occasional Poster On Blue Heaven And Even Radar Posts Like This.

YOU'RE RIGHT. CAPITALIZING THE FIRST LETTER IN EACH WORD IS HIGHLY IRRITATING!

I've never understood how people learn to replace "have" with the word "of."

I've never understood why Mick Jagger keeps fathering children. He has grandkids older than their future great aunts and uncles.

That's the thing, they never learned. They simply trust their poor hearing.

I hope you still don't use the improper idiom "spitting image," strum. Remember, the correct term is "spit and image."

I was being slightly facetious. I know the sound "of" resembles the 've in the contractions- could've, would've, should've- but, you'd think that they'd be corrected about it at some point in school.
